Today’s guest is Teach First ambassador and founder of education charity Seed Malawi, Rebecca Warner. Before I share more about our conversation, I must tell you that this episode comes with a trigger warning - we tackle the topic of child sexual abuse and rape, so please do listen with caution. In this episode, Rebecca tells us about how she founded international charity SEED Malawi and how they are challenging neocolonialist development.Neocolonialism is an extension and progression of control over other countries, and is fundamentally patriarchal and racist, rooted in slavery and exploitation. In the context of charities, this means fighting the “white saviour” approach and to give power back to local communities.Rebecca is also a survivor of child sexual abuse and rape, and this drives a large part of her work at SEED. The charity is running a data collection project on the prevalence of child sexual abuse in Malawi - the last report of this kind found that more than 60% of Malawian’s were violated during their childhood. Rebecca speaks openly and powerfully about her own experience and tells us: “It is ok to feel anger and rage. Anger is not a sign of weakness.” If you’ve been affected by the topics raised in this episode, you can find a list of support organisations below.This conversation was recorded on 21st July 2020.Tweet us! https://twitter.com/TheWotPodDM us! https://www.instagram.com/thewotpod/Or hop over to Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thewotpodEpisode ResourcesThe Survivors Trust - https://www.thesurvivorstrust.org/Rape Crisis England &amp; Wales - https://rapecrisis.org.uk/Safeline - https://www.safeline.org.uk/Connect with Rebecca Warner and Seed Malawihttps://twitter.com/SeedMalawihttps://www.seedmalawi.com/https://www.instagram.com/seedmalawi/Connect with your host Frankie Cotton:https://frankiecotton.comhttps://twitter.com/FrankieCotton_https://www.instagram.com/frankiecotton_/This episode was sound edited by Beth Davison https://www.bethdavison.com/.
