Gender Kaleidoscope
When you play with this kaleidoscope, your look is transformed. We live in a world where sex and gender produce and justify the exclusion and subordination of an important part of society. This impacts the living conditions and access to rights differentially. This podcast, in Spanish and English, seeks to contribute to the recognition, inclusion and construction of just gender relations from diverse and local voices around the world. We highlight their voices as they challenge and transform gender stereotypes, gender violence and gender inequalities daily.Cuando jugamos con este caleidoscopio, se transforma la mirada.
