      141 - Dr Erna van der Westhuizen on the Concept of Voice Economy to Benefit Marginalised Groups
      Dec 23 2025
      In this episode, Lois speaks with Dr Erna van der Westhuizen about the concept of voice economy as a way for marginalized groups, including those with disabilities, to empower and advocate for themselves.

      Erna developed the concept of voice economy after leading an advocacy project to explore the out of pocket expenses experienced by parents of children with disabilities. When she initially struggled to get the information she needed for the project, she started a WhatsApp group to communicate with community leaders who began adding parents and other stakeholders to the group. Within a short time it had grown to more than 3000 participants sharing their lived experiences and knowledge to benefit others in the community.

      Erna defines voice economy as a system of expression and an exchange of individual and collective voices to generate shared value that drives social transformation and change
