Wise Talk: Reimagine & Re-language the GBV Crisis

“If we believe that this violence against women is such an injustice, we can’t continue having conversations the way we have been…we have to force it. It must be declared a pandemic,” Brenda Madumise-Pajibo expresses. To which, Onica Makwakwa follows up by noting that calling GBV a pandemic will also change the type of financial commitment governments make to end the scourge.

In this episode of Wise Talk, Brenda and Onica discuss the importance of reimagining gender-based violence. More so, they engage the necessity to begin using different language in order to effectively “remove [GBV] from the shadow and bring it to life.”"
