This episode was originally published on Gender IT- genderit.org/feminist-talk/conv…s-internet-myanmar
The idea for the podcast falls under how women + LGBTQI community are more vulnerable on online platforms. This includes women getting trolled for what they say, wear, and believe or for not saying, wearing, or believing as society expected. We want to highlight the sexism, misogynism, and homophobic practices online that are much more prevalent online since they (people who do that) can hide behind the screen and don't suffer the consequences. (eg. how a case of a woman being raped is quickly dismissed with a victim-blaming attitude and protection of the perpetrator's actions but when a man goes through the same situation, it becomes an issue that feminists don't want to talk about, according to the group of people who dismissed the same case on a woman.
For this episode, we are focusing to discuss further the reasons these are happening in Myanmar and what one can do about this to prevent or stand up against it. We would like to offer our audiences in this episode to both understand the root causes of these and the solutions an individual can take to prevent such practices.

Yadanar Win is a multi-media artist that means a performance, video, and installation artist based in Yangon.

This week, meet Gtaw, Yadanar who is a doctor and an SRHR advocate from Yangon. In this episode, she shares memorable experiences with her first-time bleeding and how she attached shame around it. She also offers us a medical point of view on menstruation: why we bleed, what happens when we bleed or not bleed. She greatly takes time on deconstructing myths around menstruation and explains why they are not logical or medically approved. She emphasizes how damaging this harmful cultural practice is- for our mental, physical health. Many young girls in Myanmar are told not to take shower during menstruation and we asked Yadanar if that’s true. She suggests we do what we want to do like every day when we bleed and there is no need for any changes in lifestyles. Her passion, knowledge and constant advocacy on Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights will certainly give you many inspirations to stand up and speak up against inequality.

" I see two classes; the group that oppressed and those who are being oppressed. If we want to demolish Burmanization, even the Bama community must know that they are being oppressed by the system because the oppressors are using the ideology to divide between Bamas and other ethnic groups. I would really prefer the reconciliation between the oppressed class to fight against the oppressors."

“Global health at its core is colonial. Myanmar, for example, falls under the tropical hygiene and hygiene, in this case, is not to protect the natives but to protect the colonizers from the natives.”
Listen to Ma Sandra Mon, a scientist-activist who talks about her life and profession as a scientist and how this revolution has led her to claim an identity as an activist. She has also wisely suggested how we can all take a part in decolonizing the health care system in Myanmar.
Sandra Mon is a senior researcher at the Center for Public Health and Human Rights at the Johns Hopkins Department of Epidemiology. As a Myanmar national, she has been an active voice for health care workers in Myanmar since the beginning of the coup there on February 1.

"I was ashamed of becoming a woman. My breast was just growing and I was so embarrassed of having them that I, in fact, once tapped them so that it would look flat. I was shaped by an environment that made me ashamed of my womanhood."
In this weekly podcast, we sat down and talked with Miss Nepal World 2018, Shrinkhala Khatiwada who has been actively speaking about social issues in several media. With her, we will be discussing menstrual taboos and other harmful social practices that she has experienced or seen and how she is challenging those. Ma Nandar& Shrinkhala shared the same ethnic identity (being born as Nepali) however, did two of them experience different things for being born in different countries?

Episode-2-We Need To Talk About Abortion-Sneha Nair-HTU
"We believe that every girl, woman, and transgender in Myanmar deserves access to safe abortion."
G-Taw Zagar Wyne (English), Episode- 2 – We Need To Talk About Abortion
Featuring- HowToUseAbortionPill
Speaker: Sneha Nair, Communication Officer
Abortion is a basic medical healthcare need for millions of women and girls and others who can become pregnant. This is not only health issues but also social justice issues. Like many countries in the world, Myanmar also strictly prohibited this right and therefore, put the lives of many in danger. How do we normalize this conversation? This week, G-Taw Zagar Wyne sat with HowToUseAbortionPill to discuss why safe, respectful, and legal abortion matters.

"You don’t need to fight the way you see yourselves but you need to fight the way they see you."
This episode speaker is an artist named Chu Wai Nyein who has been active since 2008, when she began studying at the National University of Arts and Culture and Technological University, Mandalay. She has had about 40 local and international exhibitions including London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Warsaw, France, and Australia.
Chuu Wai Nyein is interested in discovering and working with handcrafted materials, as can be seen in her paintings which showcases artwork made in part with traditional htameins and longyis fabrics as canvases.
Many of them have a woman’s face or skin replaced by the traditional decorative flourishes from temple and court art. Others are painted on the fabric used for women’s clothing, with the woven pattern showing through the portrait. Many are sexy, playful, confident, thoughtful, and are the women Chuu Wai Nyein sees among her peers.
