S2E12 Collective Care and Kindness The Sexual Violence Research Podcast

- Society & Culture
“Change starts from within us.” With so many important goals to achieve, it can be difficult to remember the importance of prioritising health and happiness. But what if we approached work and life with more kindness, focussing on our wellbeing and the welfare of everyone around us?
In this episode we explore the concept of ‘collective care’ - the practice of taking responsibility for the wellbeing of each other, as individuals and as a community. We examine the very real dangers faced by women and children around the world, specifically in the sphere of activism, and how collective care can support and heal those vulnerable to attacks. We also discuss the importance of integrating collective care into our organisations, what this can look like, and what the future holds.
Our guests are:
Natsnet Ghebrebrhan, Director, VAW Prevention Team at Raising Voices
Jean Kemitare, Programmes Director at Urgent Action Fund Africa.
Your hosts are:
Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI
Ayesha Mago, Global Advocacy Director, SVRI
