People sometimes use "when" and "where" fairly interchangeably and this is the case here. "Where" is being used to mean a place in time, rather than an actual location. Ex: We're living in a time where, more than ever, everyone has a voice. Ex: He found himself in a situation where he had to make a hard decision. Ex: I've been in a situation where I was terrified.
