 We discuss the underrepresentation of women in leadership and decision-making, and how this still is affected by traditional gender roles and reinforced by religion. We touch on the current situation in Cyrpus and what has been done about it, as well as some typical measures to promote greater representation. Overall, we share a lot of our frustration that women still have to fight to occupy positions where they are just as competent as men but aren't given a chance.

We had a great discussion with Mariza Vryonidi about the disproportionate impact of the climate crisis. The countries, communities, and individuals that suffer the most from the consequences of climate change are the ones that have done the least to cause it. We discuss how we can use our privilege to raise other people's voices and how people in power can open up spaces for young activists and underrepresented people.

Together with Kiriaki Lambrianidou and Xenia Evangelou, we discussed how the victim support system, despite its flaws and failings, is trying to improve and provide better support and protection to victims. We touched on how the ratification of the Istanbul Convention propelled changes in the legislation on gender-based violence, the guests' opinions about the attitudes of the police and the judicial system towards victims, and the influence of society's conservative values in the practices of professionals in this system.1

In this episode, together with Maria Angeli from the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies, we discuss the lack of visibility of gender and related issues in the media, how gender-based violence tends to be portrayed, the lack of policies around this problem, and other aspects that reinforce the invisibility of women and gender minorities.
