Women's safety is a global issue. Inspired by Indian theatre artist Mallika Taneja, whose solo performance "Be Careful" was presented at Sirenos theatre festival in Vilnius, we invited listeners to a public discussion. Are we truly living in an age of feminism? How has the art scene changed since the start of the #metoo movement?

On March 8, the International Women's Day, we are sharing the conversation to NYLA listeners.

Panel speakers, later joined by podcast listeners:

Runa Chakraborty Paunksnis, an associate professor, teaching gender Studies at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU);

Eglė Murauskaitė, a senior researcher at the University of Maryland, working with unconventional security threats;

Yana Ross, a resident director at the Lithuanian National Theater.

The conversation was moderated by NYLA co-host Ieva Balsiūnaitė.
