Big Sister Hotline: Episode 37, Feat. SAYOMI ARIYAWANSA

I’m so excited to introduce you to this week’s guest! SAYOMI ARIYAWANSA is a human rights lawyer and researcher looking at the circumstances of migrant workers in Australia. In this incredibly in depth chat, we talk about racism, migration, labour and classism and its particular impact on low paid migrant women workers. We speak to little sisters about how to extricate yourself from a relationship that no longer serves you AND how to navigate the patriarchal imposed guilt of this; how to best support a close friend or family member when you learn someone has perpetrated sexual assault against them; and some practical tools for how to respectfully break up with someone who you still have lots of love for.If you’re enjoying the hotline, please consider rating and reviewing it!

Welcome to the Big Sister Hotline! Presented weekly by Clementine Ford, this is your place to ask all the questions you STILL don’t know the answers to about sex, friendships, relationships, family and life stuff, with the kind of frank advice you could expect to get from the person who loves you most - your big sister. Because life isn’t easy, and sometimes we all need a big sister to call on.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/clementineford-bigsisterhotline.
