In a world where countless voices are stifled by the weight of gender-based violence, it’s essential to amplify those speaking out against this pervasive issue. I had the privilege of engaging in a thought-provoking conversation with Akuvi Aguedze, a remarkable advocate and the author of “If My Body Could Scream.” This book isn’t just another publication; it’s a lifeline, a beacon of hope for those affected by the horrors of gender-based violence.

As the conversation began, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. Akuvi’s passion for her cause was palpable, emanating from every word she spoke. The discussion revolved around the heart-wrenching theme of gender-based violence, a topic that has plagued societies worldwide for far too long.

Akuvi’s inspiration for her book stemmed from her own experiences and those of countless other women whose lives have been marred by violence and oppression. It’s a sobering reminder that behind every statistic lies a human story, a narrative of pain and resilience.

But “If My Body Could Scream” isn’t just a recounting of suffering; it’s a call to action, a rallying cry for change. Through her lifetime project, Akuvi aims to spark a movement that transcends boundaries and unites people from all walks of life. It’s a testament to the enduring power of advocacy and the belief that together, we can build a safer, more equitable world.

One aspect of our conversation that struck a chord with me was Akuvi’s emphasis on inclusivity. Gender-based violence isn’t solely a women’s issue—it affects us all. In her book, Akuvi underscores the importance of engaging men in the conversation, highlighting their role as allies in the fight against violence and discrimination.

As our conversation drew to a close, Akuvi left us with a powerful message: change is possible, but it requires collective action. We must all play our part, whether by raising awareness, supporting survivors, or advocating for policy reform. It’s only by working together that we can bring an end to the cycle of violence and create a future where everyone can live free from fear.
