Kazakh Women Voice

Through our podcast, we try to build a digital community where ethnic Kazakh women from all over the world can bring their stories, struggles, or even random thoughts that concern their lives. We situate our conversations in a reflection of nomadic culture and its legacy, which has a strong influence on our thoughts, behaviors, and various relations with our community, society, and the world. We try to think in a critical way to better understand our way of life, our layered identities, and our womanhood, which empower us across time and space.

    E43 Kazakh Entrepreneurship and Branding

    In this episode, we had a great conversation with JayJay again. We begin with the rise of a Kazakh cross-border influencer-entrepreneur and move into a broader conversation about direct sales, middle-aged women’s entrepreneurship, green food, manufacturing, and the rediscovery of our homeland. Together with JayJay, we ask: who gets to define “good” products, culture, and development? When our everyday practices are dismissed as backward at home but celebrated as trends once recognized by others, who truly benefits? This episode reflects on business, culture, dignity, and development with human care。[This episode hosts]Dina; Aigerim[About Kazakh Women Voice]Kazakh Women Voice is a character dialogue program focusing on Kazakh women.

    E42 All Her Fault and Riot Women

    Recently, we watched two series: All Her Fault and Riot Women. One is a tense and unsettling thriller, the other a loud, angry, and musical women’s collective. Together, they led us to ask:Is this honest portrayal of women’s lived realities a recent trend, or is it something we simply weren’t taught to notice before?In this episode, we talk about what changes when films are led by women directors and producers. We reflect on marriage, emotional exhaustion, motherhood, childbirth, sexual violence, and victim-blaming, but also on moments when women sit together, think together, and hold each other emotionally.We spend time with anger: why women’s anger is so often dismissed as “hysterical,” and why it actually needs to be seen, named, and held. When our feelings are recognized and validated, that recognition itself becomes a source of strength. Perhaps this is also what podcasts can do: create space for shared emotions that have long been ignored.[This episode hosts]Dina; Aigerim[About Kazakh Women Voice]Kazakh Women Voice is a character dialogue program focusing on Kazakh women.

    E40 Flesh or Body? Enslaved Women and the Violent History of “Sex”

    In this episode, we begin with the Moynihan Report, as criticized by feminist theorist Hortense Spillers, and later with Riley Snorton’s work on ungendered flesh, and how medicine and science, through brutal experiments on enslaved women's bodies, help construct modern knowledge about “sex” itself. This is an episode about family, gender, and historical violence, but also about a crucial question: Why does a “repaired” body not equal real healing?[This episode hosts]Dina; Aigerim[About Kazakh Women Voice]Kazakh Women Voice is a character dialogue program focusing on Kazakh women.

    E39 Rethinking Ourselves in a Multispecies World

    In this episode, we spoke with Jaina, a nature conservation practitioner who works with a wildlife protection organization and regularly conducts fieldwork in remote environments. Her work takes her into the wild: monitoring wildlife, setting up infrared camera traps, and collaborating with local communities to protect fragile ecosystems.Jaina’s journey also shows a major career transition, from a more conventional professional path to a highly specialized and lesser-known field. Through her experiences, we explore how working closely with mountains, water, plants, animals, and people reshapes one’s understanding of responsibility, risk, and the place of humans within a multispecies world.We talk about wildlife such as snow leopards or wild deer, how local communities live with nature, and what it means to develop self-awareness through ecological relationships. Jaina also shares memorable moments from her field journals and her environmental work in the Kizilsu region, offering striking thoughts on life and labor in the outdoors.The conversation then develops to our own experiences with outdoor activities: hiking, being at sea, and a sense of ease in nature. We reflect on how childhood environments shape our comfort with different landscapes, and how movement through nature can open up new ways of relating to our bodies and to the world.We also discuss safety, risk, and survival skills—knowledge often taken for granted but essential in real wilderness settings. From vast open views and the sounds of birds and water, to moments of mutual help between people, this episode emphasizes respect for nature rather than the illusion of control.In the final part, we turn to nomadism—not as something to romanticize or simplify, but as a complex and profound ecological worldview. By approaching nomadic knowledge with respect and humility, we reflect on what it means to live with nature rather than above it. This episode is an invitation to slow down, return to the wild, and rethink our relationship with nature, movement, and the inner self.[This episode hosts]Dina; Aigerim[About Kazakh Women Voice]Kazakh Women Voice is a character dialogue program focusing on Kazakh women.

    E38 Why Do We Still Debate Women’s Education? History and Present

    In this episode, we had a wonderful conversation with Rauan on the question of why women’s reading and education are still something that needs to be debated at all. Our discussion moves across two intertwined dimensions: the present and history. We reflect, argue, and think aloud together.In the present, we ask:- What do we actually mean by education? Is it credentials, discipline, social mobility, or the right to reflect, choose, and think freely?- How is women’s education experienced and imagined within Kazakh social contexts — through personal stories, everyday observations, and critical reflections?- What kinds of visible and invisible obstacles continue to shape women’s access to education today — within families, relationships, workplaces, and social expectations?Although education is often described as universally accessible, women’s access to knowledge, information, and lived experience has always been conditional. Reading, paradoxically, remains one of the most accessible paths to freedom precisely because it is ordinary.We also reflect on a persistent double standard:> When women seek freedom, it is seen as unnatural. > When women want to read, it becomes a social “problem” that demands justification. > Meanwhile, men’s freedom, ambition, and dedication to study or work are treated as self-evident.Historically, we turn to examples from Central Asia and the Middle East, discussing how women’s education has developed under constraint, negotiation, and resistance. These histories reveal that debates about women’s reading have never been merely about literacy — they are deeply tied to power, equality, and the boundaries of freedom.If you enjoy our content, we’d love for you to like, share, and help us spread the word.

    E37 Kazak Identity in Japan: Culture, Gender, Belonging

    We are delighted to speak with Jay again (in the new year) about topics we’re both passionate about. Jay has been living in Japan for many years. The episode centers on the cultural observation and interchange experienced by Kazak adults living in Japan and explores how one seeks identity and self-expression between Japanese and Kazak cultures. We discuss same-sex marriage's legal and cultural status in Japan and how it compares to attitudes in Kazakhstan. From a gender perspective, we examine Japanese society: does women's social status result from top-down reforms? The availability of paternity leave for men, the “successful woman” trap, and how the media shapes public discourse? We reflect on how Japanese women may be considered "fortunate" in certain ways, such as changes in daughter-in-law expectations and shifts in family structure over time. We also explore how both Japanese and Kazak women may share a cultural experience of shame.Is Japan's so-called cultural "coldness" unique within East Asia? Are Japanese housewives still the norm, or is this a stereotype? Is solo living becoming a broader trend? We also talk about how Kazaks maintain and develop their cultural circles within Japanese society, and what being Kazakh and having a sense of ethnic identity means to us. How did Kazakintellectuals interpret masculinity? If you enjoy our content, we’d love for you to like, share, and help us spread the word.

Starting with history, we discuss the dark aspects of human naturerevealed during the occupation of Poland by both the fascist and Soviet regimes in World War II. We talked about Jan T. Gross’s Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland, which exposes the complexities of collaboration and violence. We also mentioned Tara Zahra’s Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics between the World Wars, impressed by how immigrant women fought for their autonomy and rights by organizing and participating in social movements. Drawing connections to the present, we reflect on the struggles of independent women in modernmetropolitan life, including challenges of identity, adaptation, and cultural expectations. In the end, from a Kazakh perspective, we critically engage with our cultural environment and traditions, discussing how contemporary Kazakh womennavigate their relationship with heritage and nationhood. Beyond raising these questions, we hope to inspire deeper reflection and collective growth as we continue this conversation together. [This episode hosts] Dina & Aigerim [About Kazakh Women Voice] Kazakh Women Voice is a character dialogue program focusingon Kazakh women.
