On this episode I spoke with Hassana Maina founder of the ABCs of Sexual Violence, BBC recognized Human rights activist and coordinator of the eight state standstill rally for awareness on the domestication of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act.

We discuss northern feminism, societal double standards, and unlearning harmful practices. 

This episode also features a special cameo from my puppy Ruffles who thinks the whole world revolves around him.
