How to best safeguard our mental health while tackling SGBV & Femicide in Kenya.

Welcome to episode 6 of Season 2 on CTRH Podcast. Here, as you know, we endeavour to have real conversations intended to make an actual difference. Today I am joined by the extraordinary Mwari Muthaura, a respected psychotherapist based here in Nairobi. We turn our focus towards better understanding the Psychology of SGBV and Femicide. We start off by defining the individual terms (SGBV, IPV, Femicide, Androcide etc.) and then highlight the global statistics of Femicide and Androcide specifically. We delve into some of the possible causes or factors that may have contributed to us arriving at such a dire place in Kenya. We discuss the influence of culture, our collective psychology and social perceptions that drive victim blaming. Finally, we take time to explore various tools we can use to safeguard our mental health as we continue to attempt to address these issues, to avoid psychological distress, trauma, and burnout.  Join in on my conversation with Mwari and together, let’s explore how best to protect our sanity and manage our consumption of information, even as we endeavour to tackle the alarming issues at hand.
