Description

This episode is from the COVID-19 and GBV Series (Deep Rooted Scars) which captures the ills of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) at a time when Zimbabwe is experiencing a rise in COVID-19 cases. The drama demonstrates how women and girls are often soft targets to abusers especially during the COVID-19 induced lockdown. The episode allows us to walk into the lives of two contrasting families. One family represents a closely knit union between wife and husband and showcases a home that is filled with love, joy, peace and respect. The second family on the other hand is the exact opposite as it represents a household that lacks harmony, love, respect and understanding. The second family is characterised by outrageous acts of physical violence, inter-partner abuse, emotional and verbal abuse.  This episode is one of five episodes in this series. #ENDGBV #MaskUpZim #StaySafe
