Friday is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It marks the beginning of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.  In this audio essay, based on an analysis piece I had written for and published on TimesLIVE, I explore why and how GBV is squarely a men's problem. But, I am not merely putting us men on moral trial. That is not unimportant, but, of course, the ultimate goal should be to recover our humanity and to create spaces that are safer for everyone.  So, what does that all mean practically and analytically? I'm afraid you will have to click on the podcast link and listen to the audio essay to get a grip on the details of my thinking on these issues. I hope they are useful conversation starters for you. Thank you for continuing to support my audio journalism so generously. Please do share this episode widely, especially to all the boys, teenagers, and men in your life and within your networks.
