Hala is joined by Lula Dembele for this postscript/afterward episode where we we consider where we are in 2024 when it comes to stopping violence against women before it starts.

Lula is a specialist in gender relations and anti-patriarchal systems change. She is a passionate advocate for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and childhood and adult domestic violence. Combining lived experience and professional expertise in strategic policy and gender mainstreaming, Lula dedicates her efforts to systemic and cultural change that prevents and reduces male violence against women and children.
