Are we externalizing our wounded feminine and masculine in our protests against the State?

An Interview with Sandra Aceng, program officer of Women of Uganda Network and Global Voices contributor. She is also the coordinator of WIAG, a coalition that advocates for integration of gender perspectives in ICT policy. You can follow her work on https://wougnet.org/

✨How difficult or easy has it been for female journalists to have access to open data with gender perspectives and continue reporting in this pandemic?

✨What are some of the Stop Social Bullying campaign’s findings and how did the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatters movements were seen?

✨Race as an issue in Uganda, how racism is being reported? What are some racial discrimination and violent practices (including child racial killings)?

Can we break the stigma on people's response to pandemic, humanitarian and climate crisis? Let's explore.

A case for an intersectional approach

An interview with Marissa Conway, co-founder of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy in the UK. 

New Episode! 👩🏻‍💻Today I share with you a reflection on mass media's role on covering trauma, racial injustice and downplaying the rising social & state inequalities around the world.  

✨What we're feeding of?  

✨Are we aware of the current shift from COVID-19 fearful narratives to "anger", "rage", "fury" taking over the streets in protests? 

✨Why framing photos and videos on burning buildings and damage to public property is saying about the value of bodies and freedom of speech?

 ✨Activist Tamika Mallory said "we learned violence from you", are we aware of what the cycle of violence entails and how can we break free from it?  ✨How deep are racial & social wounds elsewhere? How can we know if most mass media focus is Euro-centric, Anglo-centric, Andro-centric?  ✨How can we talk about solidarity of nations and the need for a global leadership if this pandemic is showing the cracks in Imperial visions of "spheres of influence"?

✨How long can we continue being fed this cocktail of poisonous views and war journalism narratives that seeks to demonize, downplay and judge the Other... by what it does or what it doesn't do, by what it has and it doesn't have, by who or what it is?

✨Are we really prepared for a change to the status quo or are we ready to go back to our previous ways because uncertainty is "too hard to handle"?

✨How willing are we to unlearn previous and harmful ways and how ready are we to... bridge, build & break free?   I hope these questions sparks some more questions within you as it did within me.

A look on how much of our understanding of our womanhood experience inside/out is "truly" our own.

Economic and social stresses, national lockdowns and restrictions of movement have dramatically increased the number of women and girls facing abuse at home. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has asked today for a “global ceasefire” on #domesticviolence.
