S4E3: The Stigma of Divorce

RADIO BROADCAST ON SEPTEMBER 22ND 2022 ON SPOTIFY, SOUNDCLOUD, AND YOUTUBE

The stigma of divorce in South Asian communities is real. Divorce is viewed as a failure for women. In this episode, we're joined by Neha Gill form Apna Ghar (www.apnaghar.org) and Kavita Mehra from Sakhi for South Asian Women (www.sakhi.org) to discuss the impact of divorce, its stigma within the South Asian community and community’s role in destigmatizing divorce. We all can play a key role. Let’s recognize our own biases that patriarchal culture engraved in our minds and start the conversation in destigmatizing divorce. Please share widely.
