War's oldest weapon - how Russia terrorises women

Today is a public holiday here in the UK, and so we’re releasing
a special episode on one of the great taboo subjects in the
history of warfare: that of the role of gender and sexual
violence. Firstly, Adelie speaks with Sofi Oksanen, who just
published the viral essay 'Same River, Twice, Putin’s War on
Women'. She discusses how historic attitudes to gender in Russia
impacted post-Soviet history. The second interview is with
Tetiana Tymoshenko, a therapist who works with survivors of rape
in Ukraine with the UNFPA. Listener discretion is especially
advised for this episode.
