Listen on

Episode notes

Erin, a professional feminist and co-founder of Project Gender, shares her own ‘late’ journey into feminism alongside its history and the diverse range of opinions that exist within it. We talk about how an intersectional feminism lens on issues shines a light on the greatest inequities and helps us close the gaps for everyone. Erin shares a range of evidence and practical examples that validate the need to continue to push for change and that she has learned and heard as she leads systems change in this space.

The Future of Feminism? is a series of kōrero exploring a range of issues related to gender equity and equality, hearing the stories of those leading change in this area and examining the role of feminism in addressing these issues.

Gender equality and equity are still massive issues globally and locally. While people will say that we’ve come a long way, we’ve not come far enough. Previous waves of feminism have improved things for some, but excluded others. We ask those leading change what the role of feminism might be in that future or if there’s a different, better movement for us to unite under.
