Veronica Theron unpacks marital rape

[PODCAST]

We dived into a conversation that weighs heavily on the conscience of our nation — a conversation that demands we put cultural comfort aside and step boldly into truth and justice.

The piece is titled ‘Marital Rape: Culture, Religion and Law,’ and it centers around the arrest of a man in the Zambezi region for allegedly raping his wife. But beyond the legal matter lies a brutal tug of war — between tradition and trauma, between outdated beliefs and the lived realities of women who suffer in silence, even within the so-called sanctuary of marriage

We spoke to clinical psychologist, gender-based violence activist, and a passionate advocate for women’s rights Veronica Theron and we unpacked the emotional, cultural, and psychological weight of an article that has reopened deep wounds and fierce debates across Namibia.
