8 March was International Women’s Day and this week we're focusing on women activists who are fighting for gender equality and LGBTI+ rights.

You're going to hear all about the EuroCentralAsian Lesbian* Community and their new network from Jöelle Sambi, and LGBTI+ activism in Sweden from Ulrika Westerlund.

This episode is part one of our Women in Activism focus. Special thanks to Jöelle and Ulrika for taking part!

Your host is Anders Larsen - also known as the drag queen Chantal al Arab.

One last thing: you are invited to join the podcast. To be featured in a future episode, please send us a short voice memo with a random thought, an inspiring anecdote, or just something you would want to share to communication@copenhagen2021.com, in which you answer the following:
- Who are you?
- Where in the world are you right now?
- What’s on your mind?
- Say: “I am [your name], you are included!”
