Fighting rape culture in Sierra Leone

Fighting rape culture in Sierra Leone

A spike in gender-based violence is one of the side effects of the pandemic. In Sierra Leone, violence against women was already a national crisis.

Today, we revisit an episode from last summer about efforts there to end sexual violence from the top down - and the ground up.

In this episode:

Sam Liebmann, director of The Husband School, and Vickie Remoe, writer and blogger.
