Gay and Seen: Navigating Public Safety in Zimbabwe

In this episode of The Feminist Bar Podcast, we explore the complex realities of public safety and security for women, girls, and non-binary folk in Zimbabwe. Drawing from powerful stories shared during the recent story circles facilitated by Feminist Voices Zimbabwe and supported by Purposeful Fund, we delve into the lived experiences of navigating violence in public spaces.

Our guests reflect on how they have confronted and resisted various forms of violence, from street harassment and police brutality to social stigma and marginalization. Through their narratives, we examine the intersectional challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ communities, especially LBQT women and girls, and the collective strategies they employ for survival and resistance in a hostile environment.
