This 16 Days of Activism we will reflect on an aspect of GBV that is often neglected, the psychological and intergenerational effects of violence against women. The unaddressed trauma stemming from violence against women often results in a cycle of trauma that is passed on to newer generations. In this episode we will reflect on how this trauma may lead to internalized misogyny, aggression towards the survivors’ male children when they become parents and how it affects how women deal with similar trauma experiences by their children. The core function of this episode is to outline the effects of this trauma and how we facilitate healing and preventative measures.
