Women and war | All About Women 2018

War is often regarded as primarily a male domain, and yet its impact can hit women the hardest. It’s often their role to keep families together as they’re fleeing from conflict zones, and it’s women’s bodies that are most vulnerable to the weaponised use of sexual violence. Wai Wai Nu is a Rohingya human rights lawyer who is advocating for the rights of women in her community. In this session she’s joined by Emma Hogan, the South East Asian correspondent for the Economist, and Nicola Henry, an associate professor from RMIT University. This podcast is an extract of their discussion from All About Women 2018, chaired by Fauziah Ibrahim.

Please note that this episode contains discussion of violence against women.
