This inspiring episode features a passionate feminist and aspiring filmmaker leading the charge against gender inequality in Yemen.
When Alaa Al-Eryani realized that many people around her hadn’t heard of feminism, she took it upon herself to educate thousands of Yemeni women in Yemen and around the world about their rights, as well as their ability to become leaders of change in their communities.
Yemen is often ranked as one of the most difficult places to be a woman, and she’s hoping to shed a light on the everyday instances of sexism that get normalized in her home country.
Alaa also wants people to recognize how incredibly badass Yemeni women are. Especially in the midst of the current conflict, women in Yemen are more often than not the breadwinners of their families, and their efforts don’t always get the acknowledgement they deserve.
You definitely won’t want to miss this conversation with a fierce Yemeni feminist, where we cover both the joy and the pain she’s experienced in the lush, green, beautiful landscapes of Yemen. I hope you enjoy.
You can donate to relieve the humanitarian crisis in Yemen at these two organizations Alaa mentioned in the interview: Yemen Aid and Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation.
