"Violence against women and girls is a political question"

This week, hosts, Mae Thompson and Marwa Ben Abderrezak are joined by Hala Al-Karib to discuss the patterns and normalisation of violence against women and girls in the Horn of Africa region. They explore the roles, and failings, of international humanitarian frameworks on this topic and ask who has the power to unbuild and rebuild traditions. 

Hala Al-Karib is a women’s rights defender, researcher and the Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa Network (SIHA).
