In the light of International Women’s Day it always becomes obvious that every day is a struggle for equality, and that often the struggle is not ours but belongs to the ones who are even worse off. Women of colour, non-CIS women, queers, asexuals, non-binary, transgender people, people on the run from oppression. These are the people who die in the streets and in their homes every day. Equality means nothing if it isn’t total equality and the removal of fear – the fear of all things other. CIS men cannot pretend to understand the struggle, we can only shut up and show our support.
RT tries to maintain a healthy balance in our reporting, but to shift the focus and spark some debate I thought I’d try to do a radio show without male artists or bands where women only play non-creative roles. It was a last minute show, but it turned out it only took about 20 minutes to fill 4 hours of broadcasting time with this limitation! Almost all tracks are less than a year old. Now take it to the streets.
