TW Racism, Suicide, Honor Killing
Ciaooo,
On June 7th, 2020 there was the Black Lives Matter Protest in Rome following the murder of George Floyd. In this episode, I share how the conversation around racism and diversity inclusion has apparently changed, but there is still a long way to go. For example when it comes to understanding the impact of racism on mental health. On a happier note, the latest Italian show that I watched was Summertime, did you watch it?
Recently there was the honor killing of Saman Abbas in Emilia-Romagna Italy, an 18-year-old girl killed by her family. In this episode I also share how the conversation has been poorly handled within Italian politics, making it about an integration issue instead of making a matter a killing motivated by gender, femicide.
Enjoy x
