Insiders Outsiders

Being a woman is more than biology. Yet a lot of times, women are reduced to biology, and a degrading kind of biology where our anatomy is demarcated – what’s from the neck downwards matters, what’s from the neck upwards doesn’t. This is speaking in general terms. But let’s consider the specifics.Wherever women are – homes, boardrooms, public transport, public life, lecture halls, playing fields, bedrooms, churches, pubs, workplaces and so on – more often than not their presence, appearance, personalities, temperament, aura, tone, history, anything and everything in between are subject to verbal and nonverbal aggression, subtle and unsubtle critiques powered by assumptions, entitlement and stereotypes. So that women oscillate between being public property and private property. This voyeuristic, often misogynistic and discriminative lens zooms even closer for women in politics.Debunk Media invites journalists Jacqueline Kubania and Faith Oneya to take us into the world of politics - where no matter how hard women work to level the playing field, they are almost always treated as outsiders.Welcome to Insiders Outsiders.
