#5 Netherlands

In this episode we want to talk about the right of
self-determination over the body and what it looks like in the
Netherlands, how the continuation of the current liberalization can
be guaranteed and what future goals could be. Our guests are Devika
Partiman, a social activist that has founded the STEM OP EEN VROUW
foundation, which aims to get more women into political positions.
Also with us is Sarah Tekath, journalist, based in Amsterdam since
2014. She works for different medias like euronews, FAZ, neues
deutschland and is the podcast host AMSTERDAMES and member of the
network DEINE KORRESPONDENTIN. “Shouldn’t we not be patient,
shouldn’t we not be happy with that we have? There is still be a
big lack of understanding. I think the educational system still
does not explain why the feminist movement was there. They tell
pupils, women were not allowed ot vote, they were not allowed to go
to school. But they don’t learn the mechanics of the discriminating
system. How all the details are go to show their faces everywhere
you go.”
