The revolution starts with her

The revolution starts with her

In this special International Women's Day episode, host Lisa LaFlamme speaks with two inspiring Journalists for Human Rights team members – Winnie Syombua from Kenya and Mary Goch from South Sudan – who defied deeply patriarchal systems to become powerful champions for women's rights. Mary recounts her remarkable journey from a refugee camp where girls walked 10 kilometers to school after completing domestic duties, to becoming a voice for the voiceless in conflict-torn South Sudan. Winnie describes how her grandmother's defiance of gender norms inspired her life's work combating teenage pregnancy and advocating for girls' education in Kenya. In their conversation, they reveal how they're transforming media coverage of gender issues, challenging harmful cultural practices, and creating spaces for women's voices where they were previously silenced. Their stories exemplify how women across Africa are not just participating in revolution – they're leading it.
