In this episode, Erika is joined by Marina, the President of Tokyo Period.

Hope you enjoy and thank you again to Marina! They are also currently fundraising money for menstruation products for refugees and asylum seekers in Japan, link below.
Correction: Marina meant to say "In terms of leadership, we didn’t define ourselves based on gender (instead of "women or girls") we based them on beliefs and that was really a wonderful experience for me" towards the beginning of the episode.

Ep. 13 - Whats the deal with body hair?
In this episode Erika & Fahreen navigate the topic of body hair! We talk about our personal experiences as well as societal expectations.
We also found this really interesting video on Youtube. While this only delves into the discussion of female body hair, it's a really interesting watch. It's titled "The War Against Female Body Hair" posted by tiffanyferg. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qubnwfDNmCQ. Tiffany also has other very interesting videos out covering various societal norms issues as well as pop culture topics. The comment section is also thought-provoking! Just wanted to give her a shoutout because we really personally enjoy her content and thought some of you would too!
Sending you all some amazing energy always but especially during this odd time!

Ep. 12 - Corona Virus through a Feminist Lens
In this episode Fahreen & Erika talk about the gendered impact of COVID-19. We are all living through unprecedented times and we realize that everyone is experiencing a range of emotions from anxiety and fear to uncertainty and confusion. There is a lot of information about this pandemic currently circulating and we wanted to shift the focus a bit to centre on the experience of women and marginalized groups. We hope this episode adds a new and interesting dimension of analysis to the existing information on COVID-19.
第１２話ではCOVID-19、コロナウイルスの状況をフェミニストの視点から話していきます。コロナウイルスに関する情報が溢れている中これに関するエピソードを出すか迷ったのですが、やはり家父長制の社会で現在の状況がある上、全ての人が平等に影響を受けているわけではなく、これについて話す必要があると考えエピソードを出すことにしました。核家族をベースとした保険制度の影響など、このコロナウイルスで見えてくる問題は決して新しいものではありません。このウイルスによって見えてくる問題は常に社会に潜んでいるもので、この状況から何かを学んで活かせるようにしたいと考え対話をしました。皆さんもコメントなどあれば是非インスタグラムやメールの方でお伝え下さい。いつもご視聴ありがとうございます。心身ともにお気をつけください。このエピソードは英語でのエピソードになります。
