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.

Sextortion is a growing but often unspoken threat in post-secondary institutions in Zambia. In this episode, students and Elders come together to share real experiences, explore how sextortion shows up on and offline, and why it's a serious form of gender-based violence.

Through open dialogue, they unpack the role of power, secrecy, and social pressure—and offer clear steps for recognizing, resisting, and reporting it. A vital conversation for anyone navigating education, safety, and consent in today’s world.
