In this episode we continue our conversation about the Abatangamuco, a group of Burundian men who used to be violent to their wives but then changed, and how their experience can be useful for the rest of the world. This roundtable features South African gender equality activist Khopotso Bodibe, Burundian humanitarian worker Grace-Francoise Nibizi and European researcher, Hilde Ousland Vandeskog.
Grace-Francoise Nibizi founded an association to empower underprivileged women in Burundi. Norwegian gender researcher, Hilde Ousland Vandeskog, is the author of the first international study on the Abatangamuco communities in Burundi.
This episode of Cry Like a Boy was hosted by Khopotso Bodibe in Johannesburg. It has been produced and edited by Clarisse Shaka in Burundi, Naira Davlashyan, Marta Rodriguez Martinez and Lillo Montalto Monella in Lyon and Lory Martinez in Paris, France.
