The idea for the podcast falls under how women + LGBTQI community are more vulnerable on online platforms. This includes women getting trolled for what they say, wear, and believe or for not saying, wearing, or believing as society expected. We want to highlight the sexism, misogynism, and homophobic practices online that are much more prevalent online since they (people who do that) can hide behind the screen and don't suffer the consequences. (eg. how a case of a woman being raped is quickly dismissed with a victim-blaming attitude and protection of the perpetrator's actions but when a man goes through the same situation, it becomes an issue that feminists don't want to talk about, according to the group of people who dismissed the same case on a woman.

For this episode, we are focusing to discuss further the reasons these are happening in Myanmar and what one can do about this to prevent or stand up against it. We would like to offer our audiences in this episode to both understand the root causes of these and the solutions an individual can take to prevent such practices.

Members of the international community must unite and take stronger, coordinated action against the military junta in Myanmar, which overthrew the elected government in February 2021.

This is the view of the Tom Andrews, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, who was appointed by the Geneva-based Human Rights Council to monitor and report on the situation in the country.

While individual countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union (EU) bloc have imposed sanctions which have had some impact, Mr. Andrews told UN News’ Vibhu Mishra that these actions remain insufficient and disjointed.

Mr. Andrews began by reflecting on how the situation has changed compared with the last time he spoke to UN News, a year ago.
