Episode 8: Southward Strong: Feminism Rising

We need Global South feminism because it addresses the unique and intersecting challenges faced by women in marginalized regions, challenges often overlooked by Western feminist frameworks. Global South feminism emphasizes liberation from all oppressive systems—patriarchy, colonialism, class, and more—providing holistic solutions rooted in local contexts. It brings diverse voices and experiences to the forefront, advocating for economic empowerment, social justice, and environmental sustainability. By valuing and amplifying these perspectives, global feminism becomes more inclusive, equitable, and effective, ensuring that the fight for gender equality truly represents and benefits all women, not just those in the Global North. Join us to learn in a matter of “minutes” why feminism in the Global South is important for societal growth!
