Ep2 - Sexism In The Philippines

New Mandala

In this second episode of our second series of the Philippines beyond clichés, the topic of discussion is sexism. Is the Philippines a sexist society? Associate Professor Nicole Curato of the University of Canberra's Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance speaks with Dr Maria Tanyag, a research fellow in the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, in order to unpack the complexities of this question. How can we "understand or disaggregate gender equality issues based on multiple overlapping issues of inequality based on class, religion, sexuality, ethnicity, and also geographic locations" and consider the potential of intersectionality across marginalised groups in Filipino society?
