Lol, I also went through a phase of wishing I had red hair and green eyes and wished my name was Christine.

Interesting topic Kim. Reminds me of a protest in Eswatini some years back where there was land feud about the authority of two chiefdoms. Some women protested in front of Prince Maguga, and bared their buttocks. He was diabetic and had to have one leg amputated not long after. The story though goes that his leg fell off after being shown women's buttocks... and that's the explanation I prefer :)

It's heart wrenching 💔. Sad how society expects you to apologize for being a victim. Relationships can really mess you up. As a guy asking the victim to sweep it under the rag and not talk about it is insensitive and invalidating. I think both guys should be prosecuted for some form of violation.

Hi Kim, I'm Prudence from Kenya. I am an International Relations student and I just wanted to thank you for this podcast, as an IR student, I get so much information from here and I also get challenged. I also hope that as a continent, we could work towards eliminating some of these challenges especially the one in this particular podcast, about acquiring visas and general movement around the continent and the world.
