Episode 7: Sexuality in the Tamil Community

Welcome to our first podcast of 2021! In conversation with Gayathiri from Inclusive Tamil Arts, this podcast focuses on sexuality  and how we can open up spaces in our Tamil community to be inclusive for anyone and everyone. As the younger generation, we feel it is important that TSOCs provide a space for those who may be marginalised in our culture. Please refer to our resources list on our Instagram page for any help that you may need.
