Sextortion is a growing but often unspoken threat in post-secondary institutions in Zambia. In this episode, students and Elders come together to share real experiences, explore how sextortion shows up on and offline, and why it's a serious form of gender-based violence.
Through open dialogue, they unpack the role of power, secrecy, and social pressure—and offer clear steps for recognizing, resisting, and reporting it. A vital conversation for anyone navigating education, safety, and consent in today’s world.
