Ending all discrimination and violence against women and girls is not only a human rights issue, it’s crucial to achieving a more peaceful and sustainable world. In March we highlight and celebrate women’s stories on ‘International Women’s Day’ and during ‘Women’s History Month’, because it’s through stories that we understand their perspectives and experiences, and reshape the world. 


In this episode Gail and Loyiso look at the Global Goal to achieve gender equality (Goal 5) and are joined by three storytellers. Author and podcaster Janet Mbugua explains why we need to talk about periods, journalist Zahra Joya ensures Afghan women’s stories don’t go untold, and activist Gina Martin engages boys into the conversation about gender.


Guests: 


Janet Mbugua, Media personality, founder of Inua Dada foundation, author of ‘My First Time’ and host of ‘My First Time Stories’.


Zahra Joya, Journalist and founder of Rukhshana Media.


Gina Martin, Gender equality activist, speaker, author of ‘Be The Change : A Toolkit for the Activist in You’ and ambassador for Beyond Equality.
