Voices Amplified: Navigating Inclusive Activism in the Realm of Migration and Women’s Rights

In this podcast, WAVE voices are amplified to give insight on topics such as sexualised violence, online violence, femicides, violence against women with disabilities, youth activism, important legislation such as the Istanbul Convention, and more to highlight the different forms and dimensions of violence against women and girls.

In this episode, WAVE interns and feminist activists Yasmine Aburaya (Founder of Your Voice صُوتِك) and Alexandra Legentil delve into the crucial realm of inclusive activism. They share their unique approaches to tackling issues affecting women in the context of migration, forced migration, and women’s rights. From personal experiences that have shaped their activism to highlighting the need to address violence against women holistically, Yasmine and Alexandra bring diverse perspectives, ranging from academic to grass-roots efforts. Despite their different paths, both find common ground in advocating for migrant women to have a seat at the table in order to tailor effective responses to their needs. Together, we explore the challenges that migrant women face in accessing information, the need for a wider range of women’s specialist services, and the importance of countering cultural insensitivity and language barriers; all while highlighting the key role of truly inclusive activism in not only amplifying migrant women’s voices, but actively listening and responding to their diverse realities.
