This episode was originally published on Gender IT- genderit.org/feminist-talk/conv…s-internet-myanmar
The idea for the podcast falls under how women + LGBTQI community are more vulnerable on online platforms. This includes women getting trolled for what they say, wear, and believe or for not saying, wearing, or believing as society expected. We want to highlight the sexism, misogynism, and homophobic practices online that are much more prevalent online since they (people who do that) can hide behind the screen and don't suffer the consequences. (eg. how a case of a woman being raped is quickly dismissed with a victim-blaming attitude and protection of the perpetrator's actions but when a man goes through the same situation, it becomes an issue that feminists don't want to talk about, according to the group of people who dismissed the same case on a woman.
For this episode, we are focusing to discuss further the reasons these are happening in Myanmar and what one can do about this to prevent or stand up against it. We would like to offer our audiences in this episode to both understand the root causes of these and the solutions an individual can take to prevent such practices.
