Podium untuk Pemberdayaan Perempuan
with Hylda Damayanti
Discussion Reference: Rafia Zakaria - The Myth of Women's Empowerment (NYTimes)
In this episode, Hylda Damayanti unpacks the myth surrounding women’s empowerment. What a buzzword that is – women’s empowerment. It becomes so excessively used that it has lost its true meaning and intention. Take for instance development initiatives aiming towards achieving women’s empowerment. Instead of helping women achieve their freedom, these actions end up treating women as singular beings all-knowing about entrepreneurialism.

Pendidikan yang Mengekalkan Penindasan
with Irma Nasution
Discussion Reference: Paulo Freire - Pedagogy of the Oppressed
In this episode, Irma Nasution shares her perspectives about Paulo Freire’s critically-acclaimed book “Pedagogy of the Oppressed”. Is our education system truly liberating? How can education produce equality if teaching and its materials are not designed in a way to promote critical consciousness? How can we address poverty if education does not expose us to the socio-economic challenges that exist within our reach? How can schools embed diversity into the curriculum and not just merely for the “cultural projects”?

with Resya Kania
Discussion Reference: Global Findex 2017

Susahnya Jadi Penyandang Disabilitas di Indonesia
with Billy Purwocaroko Noeringtyas
Discussion Reference: Rezanti Putri Pramana - Six problems that exclude disabled people in Indonesia from public life (The Conversation)
In this episode, Billy Purwocaroko Noeringtyas makes a shocking (even if it’s not so new) revelation: it’s hard to live as a person of disability in Indonesia. The country’s policy has serious flaws, the budget is not well-organised, and as a result, people of disabilities are left behind – jobless, have lack of access to quality education, and can’t be seen as equal amongst society. But he’s optimistic that things can get better, if we do the right thing.
