Our guest speaker and I sit down for a heartfelt conversation and begin our series on Ending sexual violence. Focusing on the recent wave of sexual violence that has sparked an outrage in Nigeria, we talk about the context of sexual violence, rape culture and the perception of sexual violence as an issue as well as address certain misconception about what constitutes consent. Sexual violence is a difficult and heavy conversation but one that needs to continue to raise awareness, speak up for the voiceless, fight against this injustice and protect our generations.
