SOURCES with Svetlana Marshall

This week on SOURCES with Svetlana Marshall, we examine the realities facing women in Guyana, from gender-based violence and economic insecurity to the growing need for accessible mental health and social support services. These challenges continue to affect women and families across the country, underscoring the importance of both advocacy and community-based action.

Our guest is Akola Thompson, founder of Tamùkke Feminists, a grassroots organisation working to advance women’s rights, reproductive justice, and mental wellbeing. Through advocacy, education, and direct support, Tamùkke has helped bring critical issues affecting women into the national conversation.

Join us as we discuss the organisation’s mission, the progress that has been made, and the barriers that remain.
