	Description:		Swedian's out for the next couple of episodes — so for the next few weeks, we'll have some special guests on the show to talk about feminism, politics, and everything in between! WARNING: THIS EPISODE INCLUDES A BRIEF DISCUSSION ON A GRAPHIC RAPE CASE; PLEASE LISTEN AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. In this episode, we have Kate Walton, a self-identified queer feminist activist who's the founder of Jakarta Feminist Discussion Group as well as the project Menghitung Pembunuhan Perempuan — Counting Dead Women — which chronicles acts of violence against women in Indonesia. We talk to her about this project and how it helped bring attention to the brutal rape and murder of Yuyun (as previously discussed in earlier episodes) to the national and international spotlight. We discuss the latest about the case and how the government's reaction neglects to address the bigger problem of rape culture in our society. We break down "rape culture," which is a hot topic at the moment due to Donald Trump's comments. Finally, we end with how sexual violence is something that affects all women but is not something that's obvious to men — and how men can actively act to end rape culture.
