MMM S2 Episode 6 - Activism for queer women w Jean Chong of Sayoni

November 29, 2022 • Jess & Yawen • Season 2 • Episode 6

Singapore isn't as queer-friendly as you think it is. We speak to Jean Chong, one of the founders of Sayoni, a local organisation that focuses on research about LBQ (lesbian, bisexual, and queer) women in the country.

It's a sobering topic as we touch on the intersectionality of female violence and queerness (content warning!) as well as the nuances of queer female activism in the region. It was a pleasure speaking to Jean and we hope you enjoy the episode too.
