Episode 137 - Gender-based violence is a men's problem: here is what we can do about it

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.

On In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser I tackle all the uncomfortable topics that dominate public debate. With my reputation for fearless debate as a former World Masters Debate Champ, and a background in law and philosophy, you can expect debates on everything from whether or not it is racist for a non-black person to quote the N-word, to questions of how to tackle inequality, whether people are responsible for unconscious biases, the ethics of refusing to be vaccinated, the status of animals, debating books, and much more! The crucial differentiator of this podcast series compared to others is that it is fearless in its debate orientation, and no topic is off bounds! However, my motto is: "You are entitled to be treated with dignity .... but NOT to have your worldview affirmed!" So come with well-considered reasons for your viewpoints when you get YOUR chance to come on the platform to In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser
