Imagine a Zambia without Gender Based Violence

About this book

Imagine a Zambia without Gender Based Violence by Martin Soko is a socially conscious fiction title inspired by real-life situations and the realities of gender-based violence in Zambia. Soko's writing approach combines lived social concerns with creative storytelling, using narrative to make difficult issues more immediate and relatable. The book invites readers to imagine not only the harm caused by violence but also the kind of society that becomes possible when abuse, fear and silence are challenged. It is relevant to adult and young-adult readers, schools, community groups and organisations interested in gender, relationships, dignity and social change. Because the subject matter can be sensitive, the book is best approached as a conversation starter rather than a substitute for professional support services. Its central value is in turning a familiar national problem into a human story that asks readers to think seriously about responsibility, prevention and the social conditions needed for safer lives.
