Season 6, Episode 25: Jenny, Danielle and Rebecca: Iran, Dolores Huerta, and Women
About this episode
The episode discusses community-based models of accountability and the complexities of addressing sexual violence within cultural contexts.
Trigger Warning: We should mention that parts of this story might be disturbing for some of our listeners. In contrast, they reflect on community-based models of accountability, including restorative practices observed in Ugandan communities, where harm is understood as collective and healing involves ritual, reintegration, and shared responsibility. This raises a core tension between individual justice and communal repair—especially in cases of sexual violence, where harm is both deeply personal and socially embedded. The episode also highlights: The cost of silence for survivors, particularly when speaking out threatens community stability The lack of accountability for perpetrators, even when evidence is public (e.g., Epstein cases) The need to shift cultural responsibility from protecting victims to shaping the behavior and accountability of men The failure of communities to address early warning signs of harm
