Can You Hear Us?

In the second part of our two-part discussion on children’s welfare and child-centric development, host Ragin Puri (CYHU Assistant Producer) and Sanjana Sunder (CYHU Assistant Producer) explore the intersections between child-centric development and gender. They dive into how poverty can be passed from generation to generation, leading to intergenerational child poverty. Finally, the discussion reflects on the space accorded to child poverty in International Development. 

What is Can You Hear Us??

Can You Hear Us? is a podcast by Monica Abad Yang and Madiera Dennison in partnership with the Department of International Development at LSE.

The podcast is the first initiative of its kind in the Department and has the overall aim to prioritise BIPOC women and femmes' specific experiences and narratives by creating a space where we can discuss a multitude of topics that affect us as women, women of colour (WOC) and women in professional spaces such as: Colourism or Work Life Balance.

The name Can You Hear Us? originates from the COVID-19 pandemic as it is commonly repeated on Zoom but also symbolically reflects the work left to do to empower WOC.
