In this episode of The Brown Box Podcast, we sit down with Nisha Rai, an intersectional feminist and passionate advocate for safer, more equal spaces for everyone.
From joining a martial arts class to questioning patriarchal traditions, Nisha shares how she became a feminist and made it her mission to support victim survivors.
We explore:
• How early experiences and family shaped her views on allyship and equity
• The horrors of technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV)
• Why a little disruption is needed for change to happen
• The importance of bystander intervention
If you’ve ever been a victim of online abuse or wondered why, when our streets are safe, our online world is not, if you hope for more equality in this world – then this conversation is for you. Tune in on Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.
