This week on Feminist Magazine KPFK …
How is the COVID-19 Shelter in Place policy affecting people in already vulnerable situations?
In a special aired on KPFA’s Women’s Magazine, Margo Okazawa-Rey talks to four young feminist leaders. These current or former Brown University students are all leaders in the anti-violence and anti-sexual assault movement, looking at the less visible and less talked about aspects of the coronavirus.
They look at what is happening interpersonally and in the home, and how the Shelter in Place Policy affects women and other folks in precarious and already-vulnerable positions, especially people with disabilities and incarcerated persons. And they look at what happens when you consider race and class as critical aspects of their experiences. They discuss the emerging data and observations regarding the increasing violence in various forms that are resulting from or exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.
Margo talks to Camila Pelsinger – a coordinator for the Brown University Sexual Assault Peer Education program; Rose Houglet – who covers gender issues and campus activism for campus publications at Brown; Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu – Founder and Executive Director of Project LETS, a national grassroots organization led by and for folks with lived experience of mental illness/madness, Disability, trauma, and neurodivergence; and Xochi Cartland – a staff member at Project LETS and Student Coordinator, alongside Camila, of the Transformative Justice Program.
