Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Survivors of rape gathered in Gisenyi, Rwanda, to call for an end to violence against women at a UNICEF and VDay event.
Twenty years after a landmark women’s equality conference in Beijing, the United Nations reports that about 35 percent of women worldwide still experience violence in their lifetimes. The global problem manifests in myriad ways – rape, domestic violence, enslavement – and is one that persists despite advances. We talk about the nuances that make wholesale action and policies difficult and factors that can be addressed.
