Deconstructing Systems of Injustice that Hold Women Back & Perpetuate Trafficking - with Meghan Tschanz
Manage episode 295495209 series 2932253
How do systems of injustice hold women back? How does messaging surrounding gender roles impact women everywhere, from sex trafficking to situations of perceived privilege? How can we empower women and raise our voices, rather than being complicit in these issues?
Meghan Tschanz, former missionary and author of "Women Rising: Learning to Listen, Reclaiming our Voice", dives into all of these questions in her new book. We discuss these topics in this episode, along with:
- Breaking harmful narratives that have oppressed women
- How gender role narratives perpetuate human trafficking
- Why emotional health can prevent abuse and violence
- Learning to listen so we can actually help
- How we can be unknowingly complicit in the harm of others
- The correlation between lack of options and trafficking
- How to have freedom within our relationships and gender roles
- Power differentials that drive sexual assault and trafficking
- How systems of injustice are all interconnected
