Njeri Wagacha Talks To Njeri Migwi (Podcast)

Gender-based violence persists not just as isolated incidents, but as a systemic crisis enabled by institutional gaps, inadequate policies, and social norms that fail to protect survivors. Njeri Migwi, Founder of Usikimye, shares six years of frontline experience revealing why survivors struggle to leave, why cases rarely reach justice, and what structural changes are needed beyond public outrage.

In this episode of Njeri Talks, Njeri Migwi, Founder of Usikimye, reflects on six years on the front lines, not only supporting survivors but also witnessing how institutions, policies, and social norms can either protect people or leave them without options.

Gender-based violence is a crisis. But it's also a systems problem.

This isn't just a conversation about violence. It's about what allows that violence to persist:

  • Why survivors struggle to leave.
  • Why many cases never reach justice.
  • Why safe houses, trained responders, and properly funded systems matter.
  • And why ending gender-based violence requires more than public outrage.

Whether you're a lawyer, policymaker, employer, or simply a citizen, this conversation challenges us to ask an important question: What responsibility do we each carry in changing the system?
