Is the internet dividing men and women?

Focus on Africa

About this episode

You may have heard of the manosphere - but what about the femosphere? It's a growing online community of female influencers encouraging women to give up on gender equality, approach relationships strategically and seek financial benefits from men, often in the name of empowerment. While researchers say there's no evidence it's radicalising followers like the manosphere, there are concerns about its impact on young women and modern relationships. 

Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Basma El Atti and Fana Negash Technical Producer: Maxwell Onyango Senior Producer: Priya Sippy and Carolyne Kiambo Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla
