Welcome back to Girls Know Nothing! 🧡
GKN is a female focused podcast hosted by @SharonNJGaffka
Our next guest is Laura Bates BEM FRSL. Laura is an English feminist writer, who founded the Everyday Sexism Project (everydaysexism.com) in 2012, as a way to record stories of sexism faced on a daily basis, by ordinary women, in ordinary places. To show that sexism exists in abundance in the UK workplace and that it is very far from being a problem we no longer need to discuss. In 2014, Laura then went onto publish The Everyday Sexism: The Project that Inspired a Worldwide Movement.
In 2022, Laura released her most recent publication - Fix the System, Not the Women, lays bare the patterns for everyone to see. By joining the dots from an epidemic of school sexual violence to the failings of the police and CPS, institutional and systemic misogyny, political apathy and media distortion, this will be an examination of how the entire system lets women and girls down, again and again.
New episodes of Girls Know Nothing 🧡 will be released every Thursday, and will also be available on Spotify, Apple podcasts and wherever you get your podcast fixes!
