Episode Four features discussions on what it means to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). This day was set with certain, quite progressive, ideals for its time, aiming for equality and peace for all women. Over time this progressed to equality and peace for all, irrespective of gender, race, and social standing. Despite these founding ideals, many controversies arose over the commercialisation of feminism, and the "colonial mindset" that is still prevalent in today's society.
