Invisible women: a story and podcast of Emergent Agency (new series & episode out now!)
We have been working hard to prepare a new series, this time in collaboration with Oxfam and their Emergent Agency project. And we are happy to share this with you! It is widely recognized that the pandemic and lockdowns led to an increase in poverty and inequality. But also that people showed incredible resilience and agency in responding to difficult and rapidly changing circumstances. For this series we teamed up with Oxfam, who spent 18 months collecting case studies and discussing lessons with activists, development practitioners, and researchers. We highlight the stories of four changemakers that responded to the pandemic in new and innovative ways. From social entrepreneurs to organizers and movement leaders: what did they see, do, and learn in these past two years? How did they adapt and what does this tell us about how to move forward? Episode 1 is out now ! We start with Roseline Orwa, an award-winning advocate for widows and the founder of the Rona Foundation. When
