    Gomathi and the Bus

    Hello! I am Dr. Aiswarya Rao, a Paediatrician and Public Health Consultant based in Chennai. I also run a Shelter for Women with Disability in Chennai. "Dr. Aiswarya Explains" is my podcast and it is back with a new season full of episodes on not just matters of health, but also life, love, and a lot of fresh air. I am going to walk you through Feminism and a whole lot of stuff with regard to women, their access to public and private spaces, their participation in politics, and popular entertainment. In today's episode we are listening into Gomathi and her many bus rides. This episode is in Tamil. Gomathi is a young woman with a visual impairment and she talks about the barriers she faces in accessing public transport - mostly attitudinal barriers. In what we would imagine to be a gloomy, Gomi levitates the discussion with her sharp with and humour and had us in squeals of laughter. Like I always say - humour is based on misfortune...and it is very important to laugh at it. Make no mistake that barriers for all women, particularly women with disabilities are real, and no laughing matter. How are we going to change the situation and make it a better world for all women? That is the real question.
