The Shimi Podcast Episode 51 | A Childs Body is Not Your Playground

In this deeply important episode, we confront the harsh reality of child sexual abuse—a topic often buried in silence, shame, and denial. Recent statistics from Zambia highlight the urgency of this issue: in 2024 alone, over 10,220 children were affected by gender-based violence, with Lusaka Province recording the highest number of incidents . These numbers are more than just data—they represent real lives disrupted and innocence lost. We delve into how communities sometimes protect abusers more than victims, how cultural norms and family dynamics can enable abuse, and why it's crucial to speak up, listen, and act. This isn't an easy conversation, but it's a necessary one. Every child deserves to feel safe, to be protected, and to grow up without their innocence stolen. Let's stop pretending it doesn't happen. Let's hold people accountable. Let's protect our children. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
