Description

Welcome to Over the Rainbow, an LGBTQ+ podcast dedicated to queer education and queer representation. Hosted by Rachel Keighley (she/her).

Episode 13: Gender, activism and allyship with Eva Echo (she/her):

In this episode we talk about gender, hate crime, activism and allyship. Eva shares her journey discovering she is trans and using her knowledge and platform for activism.

Within that, Eva created the Pass It On Campaign, is an ambassador to London trans clinic and is an advisor to the CPS hate crime panel, where she specialises in hate targeted at transgender people.

We talk about what activism looks like in a Covid world, where our activism is predominantly online and the importance of thinking about how you approach activism to effectively share your message. Effective activism must also be inclusive, and we need to involve all that identity encompasses.
