Episode Details

Brazil is poised to make misogyny a crime, potentially sending offenders to jail, as lawmakers prepare to vote on a bill that treats gender-based hatred like racism—with penalties up to five years for severe acts. This bold move follows Senate approval and comes amid Brazil’s ongoing battle with femicide, offering a hopeful model for feminist progress. Meanwhile, in Australia, young women are being pushed out of politics by relentless online abuse, especially targeting women of color and LGBTQI+ women, since there’s no federal law specifically criminalizing gendered hate speech. Advocates are calling for stronger legislation and platform accountability, seeing Brazil’s progress as a vital blueprint for change.
