À propos de ce contenu audio

Sikh Women’s Aid has noticed the need for women-led discussion spaces that tackle the root causes of all toxic behaviour that exists in our community and wider society. So this podcast is a place for honest, frank no-nonsense discussion around the root causes of abuse and violence that swathes of Sikh Panjabi women and children are subjected to, this includes some men too.

We wish to recreate the environment of honest discourse and collective healing amongst Sikh Panjabi women and children. We named our podcast after reading about the cultural heritage of the Phulkaari and its role in the celebration of girls.

The name Phulkaari is a silent tribute to our beautiful mothers and their traditions to place honour and value on their daughters. It is time for Sikh Panjabi women and girls to take back control of discussions and strategies that impact our lives and lived experiences.

Join us every second Wednesday at 7 pm, no topic of discussion is off the table. 💜🙏🏽

    • E9: Justice for Ronan Kanda: Knife Crime, Grief, and Accountability 3 years on
      Jun 13 2025

      Send us a text

      In this powerful special episode of The Phulkaari Podcast, we sit down with Pooja and Nikita Kanda—mother and sister of Ronan Kanda—to talk about the devastating loss of their only son and brother, murdered in 2022 by two Sikh Punjabi boys. Since then, they have led the #JusticeForRonanKanda campaign, calling for awareness, accountability, and change which lead to the introduction of Ronan's Law.

      This episode explores the deep and urgent issue of knife crime within South Asian communities. We reflect on a recent incident in Smethwick, where Sikh youth in full Khalsa attire were seen armed with a knife and threatening a young boy with murder over alleged debts. Together, we ask: three years on from Ronan’s death, what—if anything—has the community learned?

    • E8: Unraveling the Narrative of Female Perpetrators and Enmeshment in Domestic Abuse
      Jul 31 2024

      Send us a text

      In this thought-provoking episode, we embark on a deep dive into the often overlooked dynamics of female perpetrators and enmeshment, particularly focusing on the complex relationships between mothers and their sons and the impact on patterns of domestic abuse.

      Our 2022 surveyed over 800 Sikh Panjabi women and girls living in the UK where 1/3 of women who had experienced domestic abuse identified their mothers-in-law as the principal perpetrator.

      With a compassionate and critical lens, we confront the societal myths and misconceptions surrounding female perpetrators of abuse and the intricate web of enmeshment that can perpetuate generational cycles of violence within families. Through candid conversations and nuanced analysis, we seek to broaden the discourse on domestic abuse to encompass the diversity of experiences and narratives that shape these often taboo relationships.

      In this compelling episode, we embark on a profound exploration of the intricate nuances surrounding spiritual abuse and faith-based exploitation, confronting the unspoken challenges faced by individuals within religious communities. Our perspective are focusing on the Sikh community and Sikh faith institutions and the break down of Sikh preaching in its honest form and what that has been replaced with and the harm caused to vulnerable congregation members

      Drawing from real-life experiences and expert insights, we navigate the delicate yet imperative discourse of spiritual abuse, shedding light on the manipulative tactics employed to exert control and inflict harm in the name of faith. Through introspective discussions, we aim to dismantle the barriers of silence and stigma, fostering a space for validation and healing for those affected by such insidious dynamics.
