Aligned with the Global 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence (25 Nov to 10 Dec), Latin America Bureau and King’s College London release a three-part podcast in which women tell their own stories of social change.
Through the project, we hope to influence policy around gender-based violence and highlight the voices and lessons of those working on the frontlines of their communities. We’d be grateful if you could help us achieve this by leaving a review and sharing the podcast using #WomenResistingViolence
Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese on all podcast platforms and on our website.
