Taba-Kholo: Gender-Based Violence with Adv. Joanna Jonas – In Episode 3 of our ‘Taba-Kholo’ video series, we chat to Advocate Joanna Jonas from Nairasha Legal Support about Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Lesotho, which was worsened by Covid-19 and lockdowns. Advocate Jonas talks to us about some of her recent cases, and shares advice on how to get help in Lesotho if you or someone you know is experiencing GBV.
Monster – When Covid-19 forced Southern Africa into lockdown, there was a significant increase in reported cases of Gender-Based Violence. Lesotho already had one of the highest rape rates in the world and this has was worsened by Covid-19. What will it take to change toxic masculinity and patriarchy in our culture?

Emisang feat. Kot Inferno, Lemekoane & Tsebo Phakisi – With increasing numbers of women in Lesotho losing their lives at the hands of men, ‘Emisang’ is a poetic call to action for us all to stand up, to reverse the status quo of widespread gender-based violence, and to breathe new meaning into ‘Khotso, Pula, Nala’ by creating a Lesotho where men and women exist in equality, peace, and mutual respect.
Take Heed feat. Circus Recipe – The Hub created ‘Take Heed’ with Circus Recipe for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence in 2020. The song is a conversation between two brothers who discuss the importance of respecting and protecting women’s rights. We have the other 349 days of the year where we need to continue to raise awareness around GBV. We all need to step up, and include men and boys in the conversation as much as possible.
