Back in the USSR re-connects with Jensen Williams, the Public Educator of Guelph-Wellington Women In Crisis, a local feminist community-based organization providing support services to women experiencing abuse and sexual violence. We discuss the history of International Women’s Day and how women across the world are rising up against patriarchal violence; fighting for a world where their rights, their dignity and equality are non-negotiable. Furthermore, we examine the role that the media plays in facilitating violence against women and the need to push back against the toxic images/stereotypes being fed to us.
