On this episode of the Vital Voices podcast hosted by our Cofounder, President & CEO Alyse Nelson, we are addressing the global call to end violence against women and girls amid this year’s 16 days of Activism, a global campaign that leads up to the 75th Anniversary Human Rights Day on December 10, 2023.

Joining Alyse in conversation is Vital Voices 2023 Global Leadership Awards honoree Hellen Lunkuse, founder of the Rape Hurts Foundation in Uganda. She is known as the “mother of thousands” for her work in combating gender-based violence and is also a longtime leader in the Vital Voices network of more than 20,000 women across 185 countries.
