Ep. 21: Beyond the binary: how can we rethink gender-based violence‪?‬ North Richmond Community Health Podcast

 
To respond to violence, we need to address the root causes. These include patriarchy, systems of oppression, systemic racism, and inequalities. We also need to think about how gender is viewed in society. Today's episode features Christina Hotka deconstructing the core themes of 16 Days of Activism.
