In this deeply important episode, we confront the harsh reality of child s*xual abuse—a topic often buried in silence, shame, and denial. Recent statistics from Zambia highlight the urgency of this issue: in 2024 alone, over 10,220 children were affected by gender-based violence, with Lusaka Province recording the highest number of incidents . These numbers are more than just data—they represent real lives disrupted and innocence lost.

We delve into how communities sometimes protect abusers more than victims, how cultural norms and family dynamics can enable abuse, and why it's crucial to speak up, listen, and act. This isn't an easy conversation, but it's a necessary one. Every child deserves to feel safe, to be protected, and to grow up without their innocence stolen.

Let's stop pretending it doesn't happen. Let's hold people accountable. Let's protect our children.

In Episode 50 of The Shimi Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Izu for an insightful conversation about her journey through medical school in China. She shares what life was like as a student abroad, the challenges and rewards of studying in a foreign country, and how it compares to pursuing medicine in Zambia. We also dive into the different disciplines of medicine—how medical education in China structures specializations, the exposure students get to various fields, and how this differs from the Zambian medical training system. From cultural adjustments to academic pressures and career pathways, this episode offers a deep look into the making of a doctor across different medical landscapes.

And before we dive in, a huge thank you to you—our listeners—for rocking with us all the way to Episode 50! Your support, feedback, and engagement keep us going, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s to more great conversations ahead!

In this Shimi episode, we're talking about Kitwe—what’s been missing since independence and what we wish the city could have. From everyday life to big dreams for the community, we’re digging into what could make Kitwe feel more whole. We also get real about self-worth and how important it is to face things head-on instead of letting issues pile up. It’s a mix of local pride(or lack thereof) and honest conversations. Toast brings his usual confusion as usual 😂
