The testing project will bring together post-secondary students and Elders from Lusaka, Zambia and First Nations, Metis and Inuit youth and Elders from Canada. They will be engaged in a community-led discussion and storytelling initiative around gender-based violence (GBV), through a perspective that is both global and local. This empowers people, particularly youth, to examine their own cultural contexts and builds confidence in solutions that are informed by and rooted in Indigenous and traditional knowledge and culture.

Colonization, Culture, and Gender-Based Violence

This episode brings together voices from Zambia and Canada to talk about how colonization disrupted traditional gender roles, silenced women’s leadership, and helped normalize gender-based violence. Guests share powerful personal stories and community histories, reflecting on what was lost—and what’s still worth fighting for. From pre-colonial matriarchies to modern movements for justice, this conversation is about healing, reclaiming culture, and finding new ways forward rooted in old wisdom.
