Feminismos del Sur

Neste episódio do Feminismos del Sur, a jornalista Ester Pinheiro conversa com Odja Barros, pastora metodista, teóloga, historiadora e autora do livro Flores que Rompem Raízes — sobre feminismo, cristianismo e a urgência de desconstruir as raízes patriarcais presentes nas interpretações da Bíblia.

Odja compartilha reflexões sobre a possibilidade (e a potência) de ser feminista e cristã, os limites e possibilidades da Bíblia como texto produzido em contextos patriarcais, e os caminhos para uma fé mais justa, libertadora e comprometida com a vida.

A conversa também traz exemplos práticos da experiência do Grupo Mulheres Flor de Manacá, na Igreja Batista do Pinheiro em Maceió, mostrando como leituras feministas da Bíblia podem fortalecer mulheres, transformar comunidades e tensionar estruturas de poder.

Um episódio sobre fé, coragem, crítica e resistência para quem acredita que espiritualidade e justiça devem caminhar juntas.

Every plan for Gaza seems to start from the same assumption: that Palestinians can’t lead their own liberation.
That they’re a humanitarian crisis to be managed, not a people with agency, history, and political vision.
Today, Ester Pinheiro speaks with:
Aseel Albajeh, researcher and advocate at the Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy, about what it would mean to center Palestinians in shaping a real and just peace.

Iranian women are redefining feminism under one of the world’s most repressive regimes.
Beyond the Western gaze that often paints them only as victims, they’re building movements that center choice, dignity, and everyday resistance.
From the Women, Life, Freedom uprising to Iran’s #MeToo movement, activists are challenging both state control and global misrepresentation, demanding genuine solidarity that amplifies their voices, not speaks for them.
Ester Pinheiro speaks with:
Shaghayegh Norouzi, who launched the page on social media for the Me Too Movement in Iran. She is a feminist activist and communications manager at the NGO United for Iran.

Azadeh Kian is emeritus Professor of Sociology at University of Paris City, former director of gender Studies at the University of Paris 7- Diderot Co-Director of National Federation of Research on Gender in France (RING), and a research associate at CNRS Iranian and Indian worlds.

In Gaza, women and girls are paying the highest price of war, but their lives are being turned into a smokescreen. Israeli leaders claim their bombs are about “saving women,” echoing the same dangerous framing once used to justify the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.

In this episode, the journalist Ester Pinheiro speaks with:

✨ Yara Hawari, Palestinian academic and Co-director at Al-Shabaka
✨ Amina, from Let’s Talk Palestine
✨ Ohaila, from SAWA, a feminist organization supporting survivors of violence in Palestine

➡️ How women’s rights are weaponized to justify war and genocide?
➡️ How Western and Israeli discourse strips Palestinian women of their agency?
➡️ Why are we not talking about Palestinian men?
➡️ The ways women are resisting, organizing, and leading in Gaza and beyond
➡️ What genuine feminist solidarity to Palestinian women can look like?

Update: The United Nations has confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, where tens of thousands of civilians have been killed.

Dans cet épisode de Feminismos del Sur, plongez au cœur de la mémoire d’une femme emblématique de la résistance anticoloniale en Algérie : Lalla Fathma N’Soumer.
À travers le regard engagé de Feriel Lalami, ancienne sociologue et enseignante-chercheuse au laboratoire GRESCO de l’Université de Poitiers, experte des mouvements féministes au Maghreb, découvrez le parcours exceptionnel de celle que l’on surnomme la « Jeanne d’Arc du Djurdjura ».
Lalla Fathma a mené une lutte acharnée contre le colonialisme français et dénoncé le génocide de son peuple au XIXe siècle. Figure marquante, trop souvent effacée des récits historiques, elle incarne la force, le courage et la détermination des femmes dans les combats de libération.
Cet épisode lui rend un hommage vibrant, tout en interrogeant l’héritage qu’elle laisse aux luttes féministes contemporaines
