Greta RicoGUEST
And at that moment, my niece, Nicole, she was three years old at the time, was orphaned because her mother was killed.
Greta RicoGUEST
So that situation, that unfortunate situation made me realize that even though the media has been talking about gender violence and feminicide in Mexico for a while, we were not able to realize how big the issue about gender violence is and how deep it is affecting the families of the victims in terms of who is caring of this for these orphans of feminicide.
Greta RicoGUEST
And starting this project and doing this research for so long made me realize that it was also very important to talk about the women who are caring for these children, because unfortunately, as it happens most of the time when we talk about caregivers, in 98% of the cases, there is women taking care of these children.
Greta RicoGUEST
This project is about how trauma is affecting them and also bringing into light that the government is not doing anything for these children, for these women and for the family of the victims.
Greta RicoGUEST
And I started the first chapter with my cousin and my niece and then about.
Greta RicoGUEST
two or three years, more or less, I started this second chapter.
Greta RicoGUEST
And also important to say that you are looking a lot of pink in the pictures, because one of the reflections that I got after so many years of working with gender violence is that I wanted to focus in two very important things with this project.
Greta RicoGUEST
One of them, one of those things was how can we talk about feminicide and how can we talk about violence against women without showing the violence again, and showing the blood and showing the pain and showing only the shadows and showing only death.

Steve RobertsGUEST
But what's happened increasingly is that external program providers have become the go-to sort of solution.
Steve RobertsGUEST
And in the GBV space, especially the problem, I think, is a lot of those providers are come at the problem from come at the issue from the perspective of boys mental health is the main driver of gender-based violence and this is where i find it really tricky so there's kind of two things happening at the same time one is i think schools um and teachers can do the job as well and probably better than a lot of the external providers in part because of the relationships that they build in the schools like relationships are so crucial to this thing but what's happened again is i keep talking about sort of kidnapped narratives the whole way through this conversation but this is what's happened there's a there's a group of social entrepreneurs different kind of charities and ngos and small organizations as well who have convinced many people that First of all, that they can be effective in transforming boys and men's mental health by doing a program that's 90 minutes long or even a one day long program.
Steve RobertsGUEST
But then secondly, that that is the solution to gender based violence.
Steve RobertsGUEST
And that is deeply problematic on two levels.

Lillian Matsika TakaendisaGUEST
One out of four women suffer sexual violence.
Lillian Matsika TakaendisaGUEST
And even the reported cases, they also show that women suffer more GBV than men.
Lillian Matsika TakaendisaGUEST
Why is that so? It's because of the unequal power relations that exist in relationships.
Lillian Matsika TakaendisaGUEST
And there's also issues like, you know, what we call child marriages.
Khaya MoyoHOST

Fadzai TraquinoGUEST
Thank you.
Melinda FergusonGUEST
But in South Africa, we've got poverty like we just see it all the time.
Melinda FergusonGUEST
And that's probably, I think alcohol plays 100%, if not 99% in GBV.
Melinda FergusonGUEST
I don't
Cindy PolutaHOST
necessarily think it's a poverty thing.
Safiya RajanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think most importantly is to address sexual violence in 2026, you know, sexual violence in the present.
Safiya RajanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
