Yanar Mohammed, Chair of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq - speaking to Marge May of community radio WERU-FM about her return to Iraq in 2003 to find massive infrastructure destruction, impunity for murderers of women, and a US-imposed political system that gave power to male leaders of sects and factions and had no room for women's secular issues or representation.

07:00-07:30 WINGS Reproductive Slavery - From the 19th to the 21st Centuries

“The Long Struggle to Abolish Reproductive Slavery” is a lecture by Dorothy E. Roberts - a professor of both Law and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, and founding director of the Program on Race, Science & Society in the Center for Africana Studies. She traces the denial of Black women's reproductive and parenting rights to a 19th century court case that decided the offspring of enslaved persons were considered like animals, without human rights - even if they were the children of the owner himself. Stopping mistreatment of Black families was a paramount issue of the abolitionist cause and a major reason behind the 13th and 14th Amendments to the US Constitution. But the hateful attitudes continued into modern times, and are underlying the idea that state law can dictate the terms of pregnancy and parenting, now confirmed by the US Supreme Court - and applicable to all women. Roberts describes the longterm aims of Black feminists, and calls for unifying the movements for abortion rights, parental rights, and prison abolition.

The Rothko Chapel and the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice at the University of Texas at Austin hosted this 2023 Frances Tarlton 'Sissy' Farenthold Endowed Lecture in Peace, Social Justice and Human Rights on February 15, 2023.  Edited for radio by Frieda WerdenSendungen des feministischen Radionetzwerkes und von freien Radios weltweit.

07:00-7:30 LGBTQI+ Win-Lose Court Decision in Kenya

Summary:  After ten years of appeals, Kenya's Supreme Court ruled in February 2023 that organizations with words like lesbian and gay in the title are allowed to register as NGOs. However,  same-sex sexual relations have been illegal since the British occupation. This win has set off a frightening backlash against already marginalized sexual minorities. Activist and advocate Esther Nalima gives a detailed portrait of the hazards for such individuals. She says people have a right to express their feelings but not when it harms others' rights, and that holy books don't only talk about sex they talk about love. Clips from the banned lesbian film Rafiki are included.

Maimuna Mwidau grew up in a polygamous household. Her father was Mayor of Mombasa and later a Member of Parliament. He saw political "convening power" in this daughter and encouraged her interest in politics. She was educated in Kenya and Canada, and became both a political analyst and an activist for women's political rights. Diana Wanyonyi interviewed her about her work on women's inclusion in Kenya's Constitution and her election observer work in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Somalia. While Mwidau once ran for a political office, she doesn't see a level playing field yet for women in her country, which lags behind many others in that respect. She would like elections to be about the issues, instead of mainly religion, tribe, and party affiliations. She comments on the failure to yet fully implement women's inclusion in politics in Kenya, and the possibility that the constitutional provision might be overturned. Mwidau was honored in 2013 for her work alongside both the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute - the foreign policy funding arms of the two major US political parties. She is a well known political analyst for various media, and is still researching barriers to women's political participation and how to make change.

07:00-7:30 : WINGS #28-22 Linguist Dale Spender 
Characteristics of women's speech, 1989 

Dr. Dale Spender is an Australian feminist scholar, teacher, writer and consultant. The book Man Made Language (1980) is based on Spender's PhD research in London and Australia. In it, she argued that in patriarchal societies men control language, so that it is used to their advantage. This talk by Spender delivered in San Francisco in 1989 focuses on her research into characteristics of women's speech, and references some of her later works including Invisible Women: The Schooling Scandal, Reflecting Men: At Twice Their Natural Size, and Women of Ideas and What Men Have Done to Them. Her findings showed that in conversations with men, women were regularly interrupted and talked far less than half the time; they also skillfully used eliciting cues that were useful - but not respected - in journalism. She stated that most women but few men used language to create harmony in groups, and that women used language skills to keep men feeling good so that they would not misbehave. Listeners are asked to consider whether this culture of women's language use continues today.
