After the Fall Podcast

"The question of how people can build a counterweight to growing authoritarianism has never been more urgent. Women and men in north-east Syria have been putting their energy into trying to answer that question for years. And now it’s up to all of us who admired that energy to think about how we can show solidarity. That can involve using our voices to pressure our government to support the rights of women and minorities in the region, and to rein in the Damascus government’s repressive ambitions. It can involve engaging with the ideas and practices of direct democracy that characterise the region’s governance at its best. And it can also involve trying to build a more collective and confident feminism in our own societies."
