Generation Change: From Reclaim the Streets to the Sarah Everard Vigil - Radio 4

[nauticant]

Samira Ahmed brings together activists from two different generations, united in the same aim. To end violence against women.

It started at 8pm. With Julie Bindel, Professor Liz Kelly, Dr Jessica Taylor, and Meena Kumari. A good listen in general and the discussion moved onto single sex spaces about 28 minutes in but very quickly, and naturally, broadened out from there.

I have no time for Reclaim the Streets. Pathetic translicking self-righteous libfem woke-performing little handmaidens, the lot of them. They don't speak for me.

You've misunderstood. Have a read of this:

That's Reclaim THESE Streets.

I wish they'd come up with a more original name, but it was probably purposeful.

It was a good listen, especially at the end. They explained the need for our single sex spaces so clearly , pretty depressing though.

Better than I was expecting. A shame Julie Bindel couldn't remember the tune, though!

Reclaim the Streets is an environmentalist movement (started in 1995 according to Wikipedia). The feminist movement from the 70s is Reclaim the Night.

I made a right mess of that didn't I? Thanks for setting me right.

In case anyone is interested, the programme actually spans from Reclaim the Night to the Sarah Everard Vigil, the title is incorrect.
