In this episode of LawPod, Dr Lauren Dempster talks with Brenda Mondragón Toledo, a recent PhD graduate from UCC, about her research on gender-based violence, particularly the political myth of state sexual violence in Mexico. The discussion covers historical instances dating back to the 20th century, focusing on major cases like Atenco and their impact on legal precedents. Brenda emphasizes the importance of using feminist approaches in research to recognize and resist systematic sexual violence. The conversation also explores the perception of police in Mexico and touches on international implications and parallels. https://autonomies.org/2021/03/rita-segato-reading-patriarchy/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5AAscy7qbI This episode was recorded during the North South Criminology Conference earlier in the year.
