Gender Wars: Power, Protection, and the Politics of Identity

In this episode, we turn our focus to the United States, where
President Donald Trump has ignited a wave of executive actions
targeting gender rights. From policies cloaked in the language of
“protecting women” to legislation that could restrict voter access
for trans and gender-diverse individuals, these developments raise
urgent questions about democracy, identity, and power. To help us
unpack the historical roots and global implications of these
policies, we're joined by Claire Somerville, Executive Director of
the Gender Centre here at the Geneva Graduate Institute. Together,
we’ll explore how gender is being politicised, what’s at stake for
marginalised communities, and how similar debates are unfolding
beyond U.S. borders.
