NEWS: The Murder of Amber Czech and Fort Hood OB Allegations
In today’s episode, we go over two recent stories that have a common theme: violence against and a complete lack of respect for women.
In Minnesota, 20-year-old Amber Czech was brutally murdered by a male colleague. Why? He didn’t “like her”.
At Fort Hood, an Army OB-GYN stands accused of sexually harassing, assaulting, and secretly recording female patients. Allegations that highlight the systemic failure of the military to protect women.
We wrap up by reflecting on accountability and the urgent need for cultural change. We specifically call on men, in particular, to take a more active role in challenging misogyny and protecting women.
