*TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNING*
In this episode, we deal with the triggering topic of domestic violence.

Domestic violence is a phenomenon that has plagued the world - African households included. Zimbabwean society seems to normalise domestic violence & abuse. We delve into the chokehold that domestic violence has, unpacking the layers that have maintained this status quo & offering tips on supporting those experiencing abuse and violence.
