    “The podcast for me was a breakthrough from being a survivor to being a voice for the community”


    This bonus episode contextualises the powerful stories of transformation and solidarity showcased in the Women Resisting Violence podcast.


    It is based on an online discussion around the power of podcasting for social change, with leading audio producers from Latin America and representatives from the fearless women’s organisations featured in the podcast.

  • 3. Step Up Migrant Women
    Dec 9 2021

    Gil migrated to the UK from Brazil with her partner and two children as a tourist, and subsequently became undocumented. When she fled abuse, she was not supported by the police and she ended up homeless with a child in mid-winter. Finding the Latin American Women’s Rights Service (LAWRS) changed her life and Gil now works on the group's Step Up Migrant Women campaign to highlight the vulnerability of migrant women with insecure immigration status who are suffering domestic abuse.



    LAWRS also works with Migrants in Action (MinA), a community theatre group dedicated to Brazilian women in London who have experienced gender violence. Using theatre techniques, they create a safe space for women to share stories, identify violence and heal. We hear from the artistic director, Carolina Cal.



    Women Resisting Violence is presented by Renata Peppl and produced by Louise Morris. Made through a partnership with King's College London and the Latin America Bureau.



    Featuring music by Rebeca Lane, WARA and Uppbeat*. With excerpts from ‘We Still Fight in the Dark’/ 'Lutamos no escuro’, developed by Migrants in Action (MinA)

    featuring "Alguém me avisou" by Dona Ivone Lara.



    This episode is also available in Spanish and Portuguese.

  • 3. Mujeres Migrantes: Levántense
    Dec 9 2021

    Gil emigró al Reino Unido desde Brasil con su pareja y sus dos hijos. Entró al país como turista y posteriormente se convirtió en indocumentada. Cuando el abuso aumentó, Gil huyó de su casa pero no recibió ayuda de la policía británica. Acabó en la calle con sus hijos en el invierno. Su vida cambió al encontrarse con el Servicio para los Derechos de las Mujeres Latinoamericanas (Latin American Women’s Rights Service - LAWRS), y ahora Gil trabaja en la Campaña Step Up Migrant Women, perteneciente a la organización, para visibilizar la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres migrantes con estatus incierto en situaciones de abuso doméstico.



    LAWRS también trabaja con Migrants in Action (MinA), un teatro comunitario dedicado a las mujeres brasileñas que han sufrido violencia de género. A través de técnicas teatrales, ellas crean un espacio seguro para compartir sus experiencias, identificar la violencia y sanar.



    Women Resisting Violence es presentado por Renata Peppl y producido por Louise Morris. Producido tras una colaboración entre el King's College London y el Latin America Bureau.

    Con la música de Rebeca Lane, WARA y Uppbeat*, y extractos de ’Lutamos no escuro’ (‘Todavía luchamos en en oscuro’) realizado por Migrants in Action (MinA) con el tema "Alguém me avisou" de Dona Ivone Lara.



    Este episodio también está disponible en inglés y en portugués.



    Este podcast trata de influenciar de manera positiva sobre las políticas principales en torno a la violencia contra las mujeres, y de sobresalir las lecciones y voces de ellas que trabajan en la primera línea. Para cumplir con esto, nos agradecerá si nos dejas una reseña y que lo compartas ampliamente.
