Jaysri and Akhil discuss the importance of the representation of gendered interests in politics, and question if the current political system and leaders are at all capable of breaking down the oppressive, patriarchal, capitalistic structures that prevent women's access to health, education, safe-living and other factors that are fundamental to women's empowerment. The episode also dives into how each of us has to deliberately train ourselves to empathise with other genders to be able to effect change.
