On this episode of AmabaliPod we speak to Gorata Chengeta - PHD Candidate at Wits University - about understanding what Consent is in relation to sexual violence.

We also speak about Zodwa Wabantu and many more interesting personal reflections.

This week's episode features two students from the University still known as Rhodes who are directing and producing a short docuseries on Queer Intimate Partner Violence (QIPV).

In this piece we argue that a survivor-centred approach to violence prevention and response requires taking the specific experience of each survivor as a starting point, recognising how that experience is shaped by intersectional identities and focusing on how to restore power to survivors.
