Listen "Domestic Violence and The Afghan Diaspora"
Episode Synopsis
This past April 17 weekend a video challenge of male Afghan influencers went viral, but not for the typical reasons. One of the participants was revealed to have allegations of a history of domestic violence abuse with a former partner. This incident has exposed a wider, more systemic issue of domestic violence within the Afghan diaspora, and more importantly how we talk about it. What is domestic violence and how do we process the repercussions of the action? Join us for this difficult conversation, where we seek to discuss the spectrum of abuse that exists and the cultural nuances that we must navigate to ensure victims are not silenced by shame and secrecy.
