In this episode we go through the various aspects and impacts of sexual harassment at the intersection of racism and sexism. Perpetrators strategically go for marginalised women for a reason: they most probably won’t be believed even if they gather the courage to speak up, they’ll face backlash from their community if the harasser is from the same race, and they’ll have to carry major emotional load along the way which will make them weaker. Here are the phenomenal women of color celebrated in this episode: -Marielle Franco, a Brazilian, black, lesbian politician and feminist activist who was assassinated on march 14th 2018. A rising political star from the favela, she was outspoken on police violence in Rio and an unapologetic advocate for black women who are strongly underrepresented in Brazil’s politics. Her assassination that has been unsolved until today, was meant as an intimidation but mobilized more afrobrazilian women than ever to run for congress and regional parliaments. Marielle Franco’s widow Monica Benicio continues her fight till today.
