Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
On today’s show, we’re exploring how some women have been dehumanized to the point of indifference. We’ll learn how one community is undoing the silence around the violence women of color face. We’ll also hear about how serial killers were able to hunt down mostly Black women for three decades in South Los Angeles. Then we’ll take you to the Yucatan, where pregnant indigenous women struggle under a health care system failing to provide proper medical care.
Featuring:
Rochelle Robinson, Making Contact Fellow; Kimberly Smith; Gabrielle Rae Travis, Her Resilience Community Outreach Coordinator; Margaret Prescod, founder of Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders and host of KPFK’s SojournerTruth; Mirna Aracely, Tuz Acosta, Safe Maternity for the Indigenous Population in East Yucatan; and Neyi Amparo Cime Arceo, resident of Xanlah.
