In this episode, we spoke with Comfort Dondo, the Founding Executive Director of Phumulani Minnesota African Women Against Violence, and author of the recently published book "Facing the Giants: A Journey to Freedom from Domestic Abuse," and we really zoom in on the idea of culturally specific solutions. This is a huge focus in the world of gender based violence, because providing services through a cultural lens, for diverse groups, can be complicated. Take for example working with immigrant populations. Migrants can be an especially vulnerable group for many reasons, from residency status to culture shock. We need numerous strategies to combat gender-based violence, as no one strategy works for everyone. These are complex societal issues that require comprehensive solutions that are flexible and affirming in holistic ways.
