Body Autonomy
In this episode of Taking Up Space we feature conversations on personal space, body autonomy, and consent. While discussions about consent and autonomy are becoming increasingly prevalent in feminist spaces, it’s important to include marginalized folks, who have to fight harder to maintain their own bodily autonomy, in these conversations. A warning that this episode deals with mature content, specifically revolving around sexual assault, so listener discretion is advised.
