Violence, particularly Gender Based Violence (GBV), is increasing at an alarming rate globally. Predominantly, the focus on GBV is on women (and girls) due to their disproportional exposure to rape and domestic violence. However, GBV covers a much broader spectrum which includes human trafficking, gender/sexual bias and discrimination, female genital mutilation and child marriage. Recently, the demonstrations in Iran depict girls taking off their hijab and cutting their hair in protest and unison for the biased treatment of women which led to the death of a young activist. In the U.S., the reversal of Roe versus Wade has placed the reproductive rights of woman at the forefront of discussion s from boardrooms to communities. Whilst the female gender continues to bear the brunt of indiscriminate assaults on women, particularly in Africa, we must acknowledge men also fall victim to abuse and due to societal and cultural biases and stereotypes suffer adversely like their female counterparts in silence. In this episode of Thinking Reimagined ®️, Benny Finisher (Performing and Creative Artist, who showcased an amazing new play, Menace, tells the stories of the violence against people including men), Peter Armand Boyo (Director, Actor, Filmmaker and Brand Ambassador), Dr. Ama (Founder, Allied Empowerment®️ Live Abundantly!®️ & Thinking Reimagined®️, Chair, British Business Group, Nigeria and Global Ambassador, Savvitas-UK) and Nifemi Oguntoye (Moderator) discuss how to fix our broken patriarchal society which permits the Menace in society. They highlight the need to create awareness and advocacy for the elimination of the wonton violence, beginning in the school and community, and the need to push for gender parity as well as the importance of encouraging women to achieve more and to become decision makers negotiating for policies and educational programmes aimed at reducing the level of gender based violence. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinking-reimagined/message
