Summary

The backlash against women's and LGBTIQI+ rights is growing – part of an organised movement that goes beyond one country or one president. But as Saskia Brechenmacher says on the latest episode of Rethinking Humanitarianism, concerned people – including civil society and non-governmental organisations – can take steps to counter the threats. Guests: Saskia Brechenmacher , senior fellow in the Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. ____ Got a question or feedback?
