In this episode we give a more solution based approach to dealing with Gender Based Violence in South Africa - what changes we can make personally, and what changes we can make on a systematic or governmental level. The episode ends with us pledging ourselves to make a more intentional effort to fight against GBV and each of us say how we plan to do this in our own spaces.
Femicide Affects us all. Our nation is in crises. We need solutions. We hope this episode inspires constructive dialogue in your spaces. ♡

“As a country, we find ourselves in the midst of not one, but two, devastating pandemics" These were the words of President Cyril Ramaphosa addressing the country on the increase in Gender Based Violence cases since the easing of lockdown regulations. The President informed the nation that over the past few weeks, no fewer than 21 women and children have been murdered at the hands of men. Gender Based Violence is a long standing issue in SA, and once every few months the country finds itself at a standstill confronted with its presence. In the episode, Nena, Bands and Tshepo have a discussion on why GBV continues to be a problem in our society, how the construction of masculinity plays a role, and brainstorm ways in which we can combat this "second pandemic".

Our favourite segment, Breathing Through The Wound, where Tshepo, Bands, and Nena get stories of people going through somewhat 'challenging' times and they share their opinions on each situation. In this episode: There's a student at home for lockdown trying to establish boundaries with his parents; a young lady wondering if her deal-breakers are valid; and a Durbanite wondering if his relationship should be exclusive while it's in the talking stage?
