In this week's episode...
We have a very special guest, Tayla Johnson. She is at the forefront of the fight against gender-based violence in South Africa. We get an inside view of what it is like to be a female in South Africa. Tayla brings up points on how men should talk about gender-based violence amongst each other and how they should learn and educate other men on gender-based violence. Tayla discusses her own experiences where she has been affected by gender-based violence. We as The Banter Burrito are against gender-based violence and hope that these resources below will help educate you and other's you believe need these resources.
