Last week, Laura brought you part 1 of a panel convened last year, that took on what violence — in all its avatars — means for women in America and across the world. We wanted to consider violence as a phenomenon that will peak and implode during Trump’s administration. This week, we want to further contemplate what a Trump presidency will look like in relation to the questions these panelists raise. What will Donald Trump mean for thousands of incarcerated and detained women; for trans women waiting on hormones; for vital acts like the Violence Against Women act?
In this very special broadcast, we return to a panel convened last year, moderated by Laura, that takes on violence against women as it spans across those intersections. Convened by One Billion Rising, V-Day, and the Columbia Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies, this panel wonders how women can resist the violence of “state, and empire.” What can we learn from these panelists, including Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Eve Ensler who address the issue from vast and diverse corridors of injustice? How should we plan to work to protect the many women in our lives, Black women, Trans women, Muslim women, and their rights to abortion, expression, or refuge?
