The WomenBeing Talks series: The COVID-19 experience

The WomenBeing Talks series: The COVID-19 experience, has been described as an experiment in creating a ‘dialogue chain’,  to weave voices, stories and knowledge from female peers with different perspectives, backgrounds and walks of life all over the world. 

The storytelling initiative seeks to connect women worldwide (community leaders, academics, entrepreneurs, journalists, activists, economists and more) and immerse them in sharing their personal and national experiences during these challenging times. We want to build collaborative knowledge, relate to one another and understand better each other’s contexts.

In talk no 7, on the 28th May, SWAN founder Catriona Stewart and writer and poet Julie Farrel, discussed their experiences of disability, autism and the COVID-19 global crisis.
