EP 17 George Floyd: a year later, Summertime, Femicide

TW Racism, Suicide, Honor Killing 


Ciaooo, 


On June 7th, 2020 there was the Black Lives Matter Protest in
Rome following the murder of George Floyd. In this episode, I
share how the conversation around racism and diversity inclusion
has apparently changed, but there is still a long way to go. For
example when it comes to understanding the impact of racism on
mental health. On a happier note, the latest Italian show that I
watched was Summertime, did you watch it? 


Recently there was the honor killing of Saman Abbas in
Emilia-Romagna Italy, an 18-year-old girl killed by her family.
In this episode I also share how the conversation has been poorly
handled within Italian politics, making it about an integration
issue instead of making a matter a killing motivated by gender,
femicide.
