Summary
Imagine living with the lifelong physical and psychological scars of an attack fuelled by misogyny or romantic rejection. It’s the brutal reality for many women globally, yet the stigma of acid violence forces most survivors into silence. Focus on Africa podcast host Nkechi Ogbonna sits down with two survivors. They share their raw stories of living with the trauma, finding the strength to heal, and rebuilding their lives. Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Carolyne Kiambo and Keikantse Shumba Senior Producer: Priyanka Sippy and Bella Twine Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla
