[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING

#54: Why do women worry about their safety when out alone & why should men care?

Episode Summary

Do we have a problem when #NotAllMen is trending online in a discussion about women’s safety?

Episode Notes

The ladies discuss the recent murder of Sarah Everard, a 33-year-old woman who went missing in London while walking home from a friend’s house at night, and ask if all women worry about their safety when out alone at night, whether we put more responsibility on women to protect themselves from an attack than we do on men to learn that attacking women is wrong, and what can be done to keep women safe in public spaces. Guest starring Fairyqueen Tatiana and Nushy Rose.
