THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen ::
FIRST … October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. How is the COVID-19 lockdown making it worse?
Domestic abuse affects everyone it touches — intimate partners, children, and elders. Monica Lopez of Making Contact talks to: Councillor Karen Bellamy, Councillor Grace Williams, Cordelia Tucker-O’Sullivan, Kate Smurthwaite, Angela Clarke and Elizabeth Jiménez-Yáñez. We hear about pandemic challenges to survivors and advocates, and the extra issues faced by undocumented and migrant women. And we learn about a landmark piece of legislation in the UK that could change the way they handle domestic abuse cases, and inspire legislation around the world.
PLUS … There’s still no justice for Breonna Taylor and protestors are still out on the streets of Louisville, after a grand jury declined to charge officers in her fatal shooting. Lisa Dettmer of KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine discusses the history of police violence against Black, Indigenous & other women of color, and queer people. And activist responses. With Janelle White, ED of San Francisco Women Against Rape, and author / police misconduct attorney Andrea J. Ritchie.
Tuesday at 2 on KPFK. What Feminism Can Sound Like.
