In episode two, we continue exploring the lives of the two families that are trying to adapt to the new normal that has emerged as a result of the respiratory disease, COVID-19. In this episode, we get to understand how it is not easy for women to report cases of GBV they may be exposed to due to the COVID-19 induced lockdown. NaJabu, who is from the peaceful family is friends with Julia who is clutched deep in the claws of GBV that she experiences from her spouse. NaJabu tries to encourage Julia to report her husband lest the worst happens as a result of the continued physical and verbal abuse. However, Julia is against reporting the matter to the police because of fear. The episode also mirrors the effects of COVID-19 as it depicts how Julia's husband has been retrenched. The episode further helps us understand that in order for us to flatten the COVID-19 curve we need to adhere to the precautionary measures that have been put in place. Remember to mask up at all times and to maintain social distancing. #ENDGBV #MaskUpZim #StaySafe
