393. Women’s Equality & Feminism

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic, Rory talks with Orla O Connor who has recently announced that she is leaving her role as Director of the National Women's Council of Ireland. We talk about Orla's 23 years of experience of campaigning for women's equality and social justice in the National Women's Council, the learnings and lessons of campaigns like the Repeal Referendum, intersectionalism and what is or should be a vision for feminism today - for all women, from those in homelessness to needing childcare, to care workers, and the need to come together to challenge the rise of hate. We also discuss the need to regulate the social media companies.
