26 March – Gender

In today’s show we were joined Instudio by Stacey, Samantha, Lucia and Elise from the Children’s Resource centre’s Circle of sisterhood. Today children, especially young girls are faced with many challenges. Many girls are being left to bear the responsibility of having to head up a household, having to drop out of school in order to take care of their household. The children’s resource centre, a girl movement aims to build an organisation through which children can help build a better world for children. In the movement the “circle of Sisterhood” is a group of girls who address issues facing young girls of our society today.

We also spoke to Mary Hames – Director for the UWC’s Gender Equity Unit. We will be talking about a theatre piece called Reclaiming the P…word. “Reclaiming the P… Word” is a theatre piece developed by the Gender Equity Unit to inform the campus community as well as broader society on issues of the embodiment, sexuality and sexual rights of women. It is said to be provocative, powerful and personal sprinkled with some other positive p… words. Mary explained more about this piece.
