This week I am joined by the brilliant activist Zan Moon. Zan runs ‘defend her’, which is a campaign to end violence against women by sharing knowledge on self-defence and the campaign strives for legislative change within the school curriculum. Zan also runs ‘screengrabthem’, which is a movement that tackles rape culture in education - exposing online harassment, misogyny, coercion through picture evidence & tagging schools. In today’s lesson, we learn all about Zan’s journey so far into the murky waters of activism, discuss some of the key terms that uphold sexist ideologies in society, as well as talk in detail about how to advocate for practical and tangible change in both governmental and school policy.
