‘You Fight Like a Girl’… Planet Classroom podcast changing the narrative

“You fight like a girl!” is the greatest compliment anyone could receive!

In the new Planet Classroom podcast, women from all walks of life such as leaders, creators and activists discuss the numerous hardships faced by strong women everyday. The podcast will have guests exploring the global gender issues and will teach skills like how to be independent, healers, advocates, and strength holders. Planet Classroom’s virtual host, Orb, takes us around the world to learn how creative young leaders are finding ways to change the world for girls and women and empower them to be changeleaders.

In a world choked with plastic waste, the need for eco-friendly hygiene products in is at an all time high. The short student film The Full Stop, featured on the podcast, explores various ‘green’ products menstruating women can use, while looking to remove any taboo surrounding the subject.

“It’s important to educate the public on this basic bodily function to promote health, awareness, and more innovations. We still have a long way to come though, because of the societal taboos surrounding the subject. Even advertisements on TV use blue liquid to represent period blood,” says Director Saambhavi Subramani. The film Men Helping Women, also featured on the podcast, explores the way male artists abuse their positions of power with young women in lieu of mentorship. “My only hope is that this film sheds light on those issues of injustice and contributes to a future in which that happens less and less,” notes Director Isue Shin.
