️ TheGoodCastShow x Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO)Episode: Redefining Feminism with Ivy Josiah & Anniessara SukchaIn this special collaborative episode, TheGoodCastShow sits down with two incredible women — Ivy Josiah and Anniessara Sukcha — for a powerful and necessary conversation on re-defining feminism for today’s world.Together, we unpack what feminism truly stands for: a movement to fight sexism and dismantle patriarchal systems in all their forms — regardless of who perpetuates them. While patriarchy often benefits men, it is upheld by cultural norms, learned behaviours, and social structures that any gender or age group can reinforce. The good news? Everyone can be a feminist — men, women, young people, and the elderly — because the fight is about transforming systems, not pointing fingers.This episode dives into how inclusivity, accountability, and shifting mindsets can reshape the fight for gender equality. We also address misconceptions, the evolving roles of men and women, and the societal changes needed to build a more equitable future.About Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO)WAO is Malaysia’s largest service provider for domestic violence survivors and an advocate for women’s rights.
