Preventing Violence in Developing (and Developed) Countries


Listen Later

Following the brutal rape and murder of a young woman in Delhi in 2012, filmmaker Leslee Udwin traveled to India to examine the situation and attempt to understand what led to such a violent attack. She released her documentary “India’s Daughter” in 2015, and subsequently founded ThinkEqual, a non-profit organization with the mission to educate young children in social emotional learning to reduce violence throughout the world.
Today on CID’s Speaker Series podcast, Abeela Latif, student at the Harvard Graduate School of Educaton, interviews Leslee Udwin, who discusses the difficult journey of making the film and how this experience inspired her to begin the ThinkEqual global education initiative.
