The 51% Minority

About The 51% Minority

Despite constituting more than 51% of the global population, women are still referred to as a minority! Anna-Carline, Claire Sabatini, and Swagata Sen, hailing from different corners of the globe, have united with a shared mission: breaking down systemic barriers that hinder women. "The 51% Minority” is the result of their shared passion, torment, dream, anguish, and hope for creating a more sustainable and equitable society for women. Through this project, they aspire to create compelling and thought-provoking dialogues by engaging with change-makers, academics, and activists. Its overarching aim is to challenge deeply ingrained societal norms, advocate for inclusive policies, and champion the cause of gender equality. The 51% Minority is not merely a podcast; it is a platform where the voices of women from various walks of life converge to discuss, dissect, and amplify the discourse surrounding the challenges and triumphs of dismantling barriers that women encounter globally.

   Women, Power, and Privilege in the Epstein Files

   "Welcome to another episode of The 51% Minority where we challenge the status quo through critical conversations. I’m Claire Sabatini and together with my co-hosts, Anna-Caroline Theil and Swagata Sen, our conversation will focus on power: who holds it, how it is used, and how systems often fail those without it. We are discussing how society treats survivors of sexual abuse who come forward, the women connected to the Epstein case, and the broader structures that allow inequality and injustice to persist. This topic raises urgent questions about accountability, privilege, and the ways institutions respond when powerful people are implicated. Let’s get into it."
