When Women Rise, Violence Falls

Violence against women is not just a women’s issue it is a societal failure.
In this powerful episode of HERcast with Dr. Chito, we confront the realities of gender-based violence and explore what it truly takes to create safer homes, communities, and systems for women and girls.

In recognition of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Dr. Chito sits down with Brenda Anugwom, CEO of the Nigerian Women Trust Fund (@womenfund_official a leading voice in gender justice, policy reform, and women’s political participation.

With over two decades of advocacy experience, Brenda shares deep insights on:

Why gender-based violence persists

The role of leadership, laws, and accountability

How empowering women reduces violence

What governments, communities, and individuals must do differently

Why protecting women strengthens society as a whole

This conversation is honest, urgent, and necessary for women who deserve safety, for girls who deserve protection, and for anyone committed to building a more just future.

Because when women rise, violence falls.
