#6 NAMIBIA

In Namibia the abortion law is very strictly regulated – but last
year in July a young, committed movement of activists started a
petition that caused quite a stir. In our new episode we talk to
one of them: Ndiilokelwa Nthengwe, a Namibian activist who has been
at the forefront of the #ShutItAllDown Movement and the equal
rights protests in Windhoek. She is also the co-founder of the
Voices and Choices for Rights Coalition which started the petition
to legalise abortion in Namibia. Also with us is multimedia
journalist Lisa Ossenbrink, based in Windhoek. She reports on
people, power and populism from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa and
has been published by Al Jazeera English, VICE World News and
Deutsche Welle, among others. She is also a member of the network
DEINE KORRESPONDENTIN.
