"Digital Feminism & Bold Conversations with Jordi Bezabeh"

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Jordi Bezabeh a powerful digital gender activist, feminist, and gender advocate for a raw and insightful conversation alongside Dr. Sehin Teferra, Founder and Director of the Setaweet Movement.

We unpack what it means to be a feminist in today’s digital world, reflect on the impact of Jordi’s recent high-profile interviews, and explore the resistance and pushback that often comes with speaking out about gender justice in Ethiopia.

Jordi shares her personal journey into activism, the importance of using online platforms for advocacy, and the courage it takes to challenge social norms both on and offline.

In his latest blog, “The Return to Rule by Law,” Befekadu Hailu outlines the regression from reform to control, compares the current, past, and draft laws, and invites us to reflect on what’s at stake for civil society. Originally written in Amharic, this timely piece urges renewed attention to legal reforms. Read the full blog here: https://befeqe.blogspot.com/2025/07/rule-by-law-cso-en.html?m=1
