Empowering Women Worldwide

Join Johanna and I as she shares the injustices that our sisters are globally fighting and why she created Project Monma; an organization that aims to raise awareness about violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world. It is a global problem and is not confined to certain countries and religions; it is everyone's problem. Violence and discrimination by men towards women around the world is severely under-reported and therefore under-acknowledged.   Discussed in this episode:  [1:27] Why Johanna chose the name Project Monma [2:20] Governments lack of support for women's rights [5:49] Johanna and I talk about our experience with the 'male gaze' [7:28] Research and documenting women's stories in Cambodia [10:05] Education restrictions for women [11:05] Families selling the women and children in the family [12:12] Forced marriages [14:47] The lack of sex education [17:17] Placing shame on victims of sexual violence is illogical [19:03] Johanna shares harassment stories from women she's encountered [24:14] 'Blaming' from the point of view of a male student [26:52] Deli Rape Case [28:29] Men prefer to marry virgins, no man will marry a woman who's been raped [34:59] Rape laws for women in descent-based slavery in West Africa [37:22] There is more slavery today than there has ever been [38:03] Sex slavery and human trafficking [41:05] Racism between countries [47:13] Giving education, critical thinking, and global knowledge to these women [49:14] Johanna talks about how Ayaan Hirsi Ali [52:17] Talking and spreading awareness will help create change   Resources From This Episode: Work with Johanna Find out more about Project Monma Make a donation to Project Monma HERE   Work with Jennifer 25% Off a Private Coaching Session HERE   Submission (Part1) - Written By Ayaan Hirsi & Directed By Theo van Gogh   Connect with Jennifer Website Facebook Instagram   Connect with Johanna Website Instagram
