from Agents of the Matriarchy Hosted by The 49%

Episode 4: Fainy Sukenik on Changing Community from Within Fainy Sukenik is a Haredi feminist, social entrepreneur, and the founder of Ba'asher Telchi, an organization that has supported more than 10,000 divorced and separated women. She also founded Gvul Nachon, a forum of rabbis, therapists, and media leaders working to prevent domestic violence. In this episode of Agents of the Matriarchy, host Paula Kweskin talks with Fainy about the diary she kept as a girl, what happened when her own marriage ended and her community turned away from her, and why she chose to stay and change it from the inside. They also talk about why the freedom to leave a marriage matters so much for women, and why anger can be a powerful drive for change. Show Notes: The 49%: https://www.the49percent.org/
