Feminist Frontiers in Climate Justice - Climate Injustice: A Gendered Global Crisis
In this two-part podcast series, we are exploring why efforts to mitigate climate change need to be aware of women’s equality and why efforts to achieve women’s equality must respond to the climate crisis.
This series is a joint project from the Oxford Human Rights Hub, led by Professor Sandra Fredman, and the National Research Foundation-funded South African Research Chair in Equality, Law, and Social Justice at the University of the Witwatersrand, held by Professor Cathi Albertyn.
The conversations in this podcast series stem from a new edited collection, ‘Feminist Frontiers in Climate Justice: Rights, climate change and gender equality’, published by Edward Elgar in February 2023 and edited by Cathi Albertyn, Meghan Campbell, Helena Alviar García, Sandra Fredman, and Marta Rodriguez de Assis Machado.
RightsUp is brought to you by the Oxford Human Rights Hub.

The Dangerous Road from Gender Backlash to Gender Apartheid
In this episode, Meghan Campbell talks with Dorothy Estrada-Tanck, Chairperson of the UN Working Group on discrimination against women and girls, about the concept of gender apartheid in light of the horrific denial of the equality and human rights of women and girls in Afghanistan. Dorothy and other members of the Working Group have been advocating for understanding this violation as gender apartheid.
In our conversation, we explore what this concept means, what salience it has in thinking more broadly about the current backlash against women's rights and how gender apartheid can be utilized to fight for women's equality.
