Prompted by our youngest team member’s desire for shorter podcasts on her regular commute

to and from LSE, Can You Hear Us?  is proud to present So We Heard, a series of bite-sized,

informal chats dedicated to exploring academic theories, case studies, and current affairs within

international development through the lens of black, indigenous, and women of color (BIWOC).

With episodes lasting 30 minutes or less, Can You Hear Us team members join assistant

producer, Ragini Puri, on a quick deep-dive into what topic within development is peaking their

interest and why it matters. 

Since we are in the middle of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign, Madiera, one of CYHU’s founders, joins Ragini to discuss GBV. 

Can focussing on women’s vulnerability lead to their essentialisation?

How do we further include men and boys in discussions of gender-based violence?

What happens when GBV permeates a whole new space, like the virtual world?

We discuss this and a lot more in the fourth episode of So We Heard. Tune in to listen!
