IWS RADIO #04 | Fighting Systemic Racism With Anti Discrimination Law

Guests Sanchita Basu and Canan Bayram are welcomed by Killa Kupfer, Jennifer Kamau & Denise Garcia Bergt from IWS to talk about Berlin’s new anti-discrimination law that was passed in June: What came before? What type of cases does it cover? What impact could it have? What will it take to see a similar law on the federal level? Sanchita is political activist who has co-founded several organisations in Berlin and is currently working at Reach Out - a counselling centre for victims of rightwing extremist, racist or anti-Semitic violence in Berlin. Canan is a lawyer and a member of the German parliament for the Green Party (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen). Both were involved in the creation of the law and will work with it in the future.

Om Podcasten

IWS RADIO is a podcast series on the migrant woman experience brought to you by IWS, the International Women* Space. We are a feminist, anti-racist group of migrant women, refugee women and women without this experience. We are based in Berlin, Germany. We work to document the lives and stories of refugee and migrant women living in Germany. We create platforms for women to speak out and get their voices heard. We want to inspire other women to self-organize, formulate their needs and demands and to initiate collective actions. With IWS RADIO we want to both shed light on our lived experiences and the general situation for migrant women in Germany.
