Violence is not always visible. Sometimes it appears in laws, courtrooms and bureaucratic systems that claim to offer protection while reproducing harm.
In Episode Two of Across Oceans, host Maha Al Mawla speaks with Raquel Brítez about the relationship between law, justice, and feminist movements, exploring the possibilities and limitations of legal systems in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights. Together, they reflect on community-based advocacy, strategic litigation and imagining forms of justice that extend beyond formal state institutions.
Because justice is not only about what the law says.
It is also about who can access it.
