On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, we broadcast the recorded panel between Jillian Foster, Fariba Nawa, and Teri Yuan on feminism and domestic violence during COVID. The episode was recorded live on June 12, 2020 for the Feminism in the Age of COVID Conference series and is co-produced by the Continuum Collective, the Engendered Collective, and the On Spec podcast. Jillian moderates a conversation on how COVID-19 has impacted the work we are doing in the United States and in the Muslim belt and how different societies deal with violence against women, especially as it relates to varying conceptions of feminism. Our conversation delves into the role of faith leaders in the lives of survivors, the notion of accountability and how it is manifest in these different regions, and why it’s important to have a feminist lens for interrogating violence and oppression.
