Episode 9: Our Weapon Is Solidarity

“When we are NOT TAKING SERIOUSLY THE PROBLEMS OF OTHER PEOPLE OR OTHER COMMUNITIES OR OTHER COUNTRIES, IT IS OUR DECISION TO BE ISOLATED. AND NOW WE ARE REALLY ISOLATED, BUT IT IS THE RESULT OF OUR BEHAVIOR BEFORE.”

Lessons on the need for solidarity in crisis, in the stories of three women. Featuring Taja Spasskova, Diana Young, and Marta Machalowska of Ciocia Czesia.

You can find images from Taja’s series “Isolation” here and on her website.

Diana still leads the online study groups Key Words and CLARA.

If you’ve been the victim of gender-based violence, reach out for support from In Iustitia. You can also find support from Hollaback! Czech Republic. Resources for English-language mental healthcare support can be found in the show notes for Episode 5.

Music by Blue Dot Sessions. This week’s outro is “Hoy Nazan” by the Prague band Korjen, courtesy of Indies Production.
