Ep. 2 | Raising Daughters in a Country That Doesn’t Love Them | The Psychology of Male Violence & What We’re Still Getting Wrong
Description
South Africa is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman, with gender-based violence (GBV) affecting women and girls at every stage of life. In this heartfelt episode, we unpack how it feels to raise daughters — and be daughters — in a country where safety is never guaranteed.
We explore:
The heartbreaking stories of Olorato Mongale and Cwecwe
The emotional toll of growing up in fear
Why we need to start focusing on the perpetrators, not just the victims
The role of family conversations in shaping healthy boys
How mothers can raise sons who are emotionally aware, not emotionally shut down
The importance of positive male role models
- Whether the rise in women’s empowerment has left some men emotionally lost — and what healthy masculinity could look like
This episode is honest, emotional, and necessary. Whether you’re a mother, a daughter, or someone trying to make sense of it all — this conversation is for you.
