Queer Black activist Monica Simpson from the U.S. and Dalit feminist Durga Sob from Nepal live across the world from each other, but are both fighting against intersecting forms of discrimination that have been ignored for generations. Racism and caste-discrimination are rife and the two human rights defenders are facing grave risks because of their work.
Monica Raye Simpson’s ‘Freedom Song’ in episode 2 is from her album ‘Revolutionary Love’
