Engaging Male Voices in GBV

Gender-based violence (GBV) will not end without the involvement of men and boys. In this conversation, students, elders, and community leaders from Zambia and Canada reflect on why men must be included—not only because they are often the perpetrators, but also because they play a vital role in reshaping attitudes for the next generation. The discussion highlights how silence equals complicity, how cultural expectations of “strength” harm both men and women, and why safe spaces are essential for boys and men to open up about their own experiences. Speakers stress that theory alone is not enough—change requires practice, consistent education, and role models who demonstrate respect in everyday life. From classrooms to community gatherings, the message is clear: tackling GBV is everyone’s responsibility, and involving men and boys is key to building safer, more equitable societies.

Discussing GBV with Spilling Labrador Tea Under Cedar Trees

Together, we explore how these issues affect families and communities—both in Zambia and in the Canadian North—and the ways they’re normalized, silenced, and too often misunderstood. This episode looks closely at the intergenerational impact of GBV, how cultural stigma shapes responses to mental health, and the role of justice systems in either reinforcing harm or creating pathways toward healing.
