The show is&nbsp;<strong>co-hosted&nbsp;<\/strong>by<strong>&nbsp;Brian Mulondo from Uganda.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Senator, Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation<\/strong>&nbsp;expressed, \u201cThe response to \u2018Our Africa by Merck Foundation\u2019 TV program has been very positive and overwhelming. I am so happy that the TV program has been informative and entertaining&nbsp;at the same time. Now, we bring to you the ninth episode that focuses on the issue of \u2018Stopping Gender-Based Violence\u2019. GBV is the most pervasive yet least visible human rights violation in the world. Gender-based violence affects 1 in 3 women in their lifetime, globally\u201d.<\/p><p>\u201cWe addressed this very sensitive topic\u00a0through our \u2018Fashion and Art with Purpose\u2019 community. I really admire\u00a0Art and Fashion in Africa and I strongly believe that fashion and art should have a purpose beyond entertainment and looking good. They can contribute to be the voice of the voiceless and sensitizing our communities. Through our program, we want to reach out to youth and other members of urban and rural communities across the continent to address and raise awareness about a wide range of pressing social and health issues that are relevant to Africa such as; Stopping GBV, Breaking the Infertility Stigma, Ending Child Marriage, Supporting Girl Education, Ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle, Prevention and Management of Diabetes and Coronavirus Health Awareness and more\u201d, added\u00a0<strong>Dr. Rasha Kelej.<\/strong><\/p><p>The show is being aired on:<br>The&nbsp;show is broadcasting&nbsp;on the&nbsp;following TV channels:<\/p><p><strong>\u2013 Every Saturday @ 5:30 pm (EAT) on KTN, Kenya; re-run on Wednesday @ 6:30 am (EAT)<br>\u2013 Every Sunday @ 6:30 pm (EAT) on NTV Uganda; re-run on Thursday @ 4:00 pm (EAT)<br>\u2013 Every Sunday @ 2 pm on (GMT) GH One TV, Ghana; re-run on Monday @ 1:30 pm (GMT)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>Watch the Promo of<\/em><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<em>\u2018Our Africa by Merck Foundation\u2019 here: (<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3NZZ4sc\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3NZZ4s<\/a><\/em><em>)<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>While gender-based violence (GBV) is not a problem unique to Africa, there is little doubt that the extent of the problem persists more severely on the continent than elsewhere in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that, in 2013, 35% of women worldwide had experienced either physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes. In contrast, 45.6% of women 15 years and older in Africa have experienced the same. &nbsp;<\/p><p>This high incidence of GBV in Africa can be correlated to low levels of education, exposure to violence elsewhere, patriarchal systems, attitudes accepting of violence and gender inequality, and low access to information.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In societies where justice is seldom achieved, knowledge of women\u2019s rights is limited, and exposure to violence is consistent,&nbsp;the task of reducing GBV remains of paramount importance.<\/p><p>The ninth episode of \u201cOur Africa by Merck Foundation\u201d features<strong>&nbsp;Nancy, TV Presenter &amp; Style Coach from GHONE TV,&nbsp;<\/strong>who shared tips on how to use fashion to build confidence in women. The episode also featured young and talented designers&nbsp;<strong>Gaone Mangogola<\/strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong>Botswana<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Stephany \u2013 Lee Schmidt<\/strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong>Namibia<\/strong>&nbsp;who shared their designs displaying STOP GBV messages.<\/p><p><strong>Senator, Dr. Rasha<\/strong>&nbsp;further emphasized, \u201cWe have also launched awards for Media, Fashion Designers, Filmmakers, Musicians\/ Singers, and new potential talents in these fields from African countries to address the sensitive issue of Stopping GBV, and also other issues like Breaking Infertility Stigma, Supporting Girl Education, Women Empowerment, Ending Child Marriage and\/ or Ending FGM. We are running&nbsp;these competitions&nbsp;in partnership with my dear sisters, the African First Ladies.
