Gen Talks is an extension of the student-led women’s rights organization, new/gen. By providing news on global current events that either progress or regress the women’s rights movement, we give activists the information necessary to take action. We consistently use our platform to give a voice to the silenced by inviting guests and sharing raw, hidden stories (i.e. women in authoritarian countries, women in male-dominated industries, and women with multiple minority identities such as people of color and members of the lgbtq+ community). Listen, Learn, Act, and Share!
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Sanika and Tyler expose how the patriarchy disincentivizes men from acknowledging their feelings, resulting in higher suicide rates, depression, anger issues, and alcohol dependency among men. Emotions, vulnerability, and feelings are often stereotyped as feminine traits. In a patriarchal world, feminity equals weakness. However, with feminist advocacy, we can deconstruct such narratives, allowing men to access their feminity (i.e. their emotions). Enjoy the listen!

Ep. 22 | Black Women: Neglected in Women's Rights
As Black History Month comes to an end, Sanika recounts how the women's rights movement has historically oppressed Black women, analyzes how Black History played a crucial role in propagating the women's rights movement, and highlights a few under-appreciated women from the Civil Rights Movement. This episode is dedicated to recognizing that women's rights advocacy has discluded Black women in the past in hopes of inspiring listeners to make their advocacy more consciously inclusive in the future. Happy Black History Month and enjoy the listen!
