    The Case for NIMBYism

    Canada has 38 of the world’s 100 safe injection sites. But for how much longer will we be the global leader in this controversial form of dealing with addiction?

  4. Rokhaya & Emilie in Paris: racisme et sexisme dans les médias

    6 DAYS AGO

    Rokhaya & Emilie in Paris: racisme et sexisme dans les médias

    Traumavertissement: La deuxième partie de l’émission discute de sujets douloureux en lien avec les violences faites aux femmes. Content warning: The second part of the show deals with traumatic topics connected to violence against women. Pas de souliers à talons sur les pavés parisiens pour Emilie, en visite dans la capitale française. Dans une ambiance bien moins aseptisée que celle du célèbre show Netflix, elle a rencontré Rokhaya Diallo pour lui poser une question brûlante: Comment fait-elle? Comment fait la journaliste, autrice et réalisatrice, femme noire française et musulmane, pour trouver l’énergie de débattre à la télévision et à la radio de racisme et de sexisme, des sujets si difficiles à aborder outre-Atlantique? Diallo décrypte les enjeux politiques et culturels qui paralysent le milieu des médias français et rendent ces discussions presque impossibles. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Rokhaya s’intéressent à l’affaire dite “des viols de Mazan” qui offre un éclairage inédit sur les luttes féministes et le sexisme à la française. No high-heeled shoes on the Parisian cobblestones for Emilie who’s visiting the French capital. A far cry from the innocuous atmosphere of the famous Netflix show, she speaks with Rokhaya Diallo to ask her a burning question: how does she do it? How does the French journalist, author, and director — a black Muslim woman — find the energy to debate racism and sexism on television and radio, two topics that are so difficult to tackle in France? Diallo deciphers the political and cultural issues that paralyze the French media community and make these discussions almost impossible to have. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Rokhaya focus on the so-called “Mazan rapes” affair, which offers unprecedented insight into the French feminist movement and the ‘made-in-France’ sexism.
