Season three of When Feminists Rule the World has dropped! Five brand new episodes are here, and we can’t wait for you to listen.
Host Martha Chaves—Latin-Canadian-LGBTQ award-winning comedian, actor, activist, and playwright—and ten badass feminist changemakers are talking about power – who has it, how it manifests in our communities and workplaces, impacts our lives and our ability to drive progressive change, and how it is wielded in feminist organizations.
Edgy and provocative, you’ll be challenged and inspired. You’ll hear new perspectives, new ideas, and you will hear love. Above all, season three is joyful – and you’ll feel reassured that our future is in good hands.
Each episode is a new conversation about what power looks like at its very best: the power we have within, the power we build together, how we face overwhelming power that seeks to oppress us, and how we use the power of our imaginations to conjure up a vision of the loving and just world we are all working toward, together.
It shouldn’t be groundbreaking. But it is.
We have learned so much from these young women and we can’t wait to share their insight and brilliance with the world! Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for updates, and visit When Feminists Rule the World.
Our ‘Why’
The last 18 months have been a period of reckoning and reflection for the Nobel Women’s Initiative. Please read about the journey of the Nobel Women’s Initiative, and the 2021 Sister-to-Sister Mentorship Program.
Recognizing the brilliance, the passion, the courage and the love that radiated from the women we met with online this year, we wanted to share their conversations with a wider audience — and so we are dedicating the third season of When Feminists Rule the World to them. READ MORE HERE.
The conversations you do NOT want to miss…
Episode 1: Power Over
Are we experiencing the last gasp of the patriarchy? If so, what comes next? Host Martha Chaves sparks ideas from Fahima Hashim and Nancy Ingram about transforming hierarchal patriarchal power structures embedded in some of our lives since childhood — and how the young feminist leaders they met with this year taught, inspired, and changed them.
Episode 2: Feminism and Power
What would you do if a genie granted you absolute power? In episode two, host Martha Chaves poses that juicy question to her guests, activists Dildar Kaya in Iraq and Norwu Kolu in Liberia.
Episode 3: Power Within
Ounaysa Abbas Arabi was among the women on the front lines of the 2019 revolution in Sudan. And no matter how difficult, Musu Kamara of Liberia urges other young women to “rise up in spite of the challenges, in spite of the abuses, the social sanctions, the harmful traditional gender norms.”
Episode 4: Power Together
Solidarity and sisterhood shimmer through episode four as Amy Lira of Mexico and Nicole Musimbi of the Democratic Republic of Congo talk about their “feminist superpowers”.
Episode 5: The Power of a Shared Dream
Manal Shqair and Ilaf Nasreldin are are asked to imagine what a feminist utopian world would look like. Manal is a Palestinian whose utopia is liberation from Israeli occupation. Ilaf is Sudanese and her utopia is freedom from the strict restraints on women that begin in childhood.
