Swaiba Podcast Nyambura Mundia

Join us in this final episode of the Feminists ni Sisi Tuko series with Florence Anoda as we discuss the role of the church and the community in accepting and not discriminating against anyone based on their background, the oppression of women in churches, and how we are all the Pussy Power movement.

Welcome to another podcast episode for the Feminists ni Sisi Tuko series.

In this episode, we talk about social justice and the feminist economy
The economic liberation of women has helped a lot of women in the community, in not only being able to be empowered and have their resources but also reducing disputes and disagreements that lead to intimate partner violence.

Tune in to listen to some of these examples and incredible stories from the community.

This week on the Feminists ni Sisi Tuko playlist, we explore how safeguarding against gender-based violence protects and upholds LGBTQ+ and sexual and reproductive health rights. We get to see the role that intersectionality plays in feminism and advancing gender rights.

The panelists unpack stories and challenges faced as feminists and HRDs and within the broader community advocating for women's rights.

Welcome back with another series on the Swaiba Podcast! Drum roll, please...

ta-da!

The Feminists ni Sisi Tuko mini-series!

In this episode our dear host Nyambura Mundia wonderfully joins as a panelist, joined by Njoki Gachanja, a political activist and coordinator of Githurai Social Justice Center, Jecinter Agunja, feminist activist and finance officer at CGHRD with Rachael Mwikali, our brilliant convenor and host for the Feminists ni Sisi Tuko series.

In this episode, we dive deep into feminist movement building and organizing and the challenges in the space. Our panelists share their experiences on the realities of grassroots organizing where gender and feminist discourse and work are appropriated and diluted. 

They also highlight the realities of funding feminist work and give insight into donor accountability.

Please take a listen and share your thoughts with us!

Good things come in doubles! On this special bonus episode, our guests dive deeper into age-appropriate sexuality education. In a candid conversation, Ustadha Aisha and Margaret Nyambura discuss reservations, myths and misconceptions. The conversation starts on a question to Ustadha Aisha: “As a religious leader and teacher, when you hear the term ‘comprehensive sexual education’, what does that mean to you, and what concerns does it raise for you?”

Ustadha Aisha is an Islamic teacher running a community-based organization, Soma Mama CBO, and a community centre, Darul Kheir Community Centre, both in Mukuru slums. Through her initiatives, Ustadha advocates for the education of Muslim women.
