Finland and Zimbabwe: Domestic violence - Shared Struggle

Did you know that worldwide almost one in three women (ages 15-49) have experienced intimate partner violence? In this episode, we will discuss gender based violence, especially domestic violence, with a Zimbabwean activist group. What is the situation in Finland, and what about in Zimbabwe? What are the reasons behind intimate partner violence? Should schools raise awareness of gender based violence? Why is emotional violence not recognized? During the discussion, we will try to come up with solutions to these problems. Maija Illikainen and Mimi Fu, the 2023 young equality influencers of Plan International Finland and the National Council of women of Finland, and Tandie Sibanda and Chantelle Chisiri, Zimbabwean activists from the Amplifying Girls’ Voices Through Digital Arts-group are sharing their thoughts in the podcast. The podcast is part of Maija’s and Mimi's act for equality.
