With the U.S. elections just days away, today we’re diving into how issues like reproductive health rights—often at the forefront of American political discourse—might echo within our own lives here in South Africa.

We’re curious to hear from our listeners: do divisive political views ever cause tension in your own relationships, whether with family, friends, or partners? Have you ever found yourself on opposite sides of the ballot with someone close to you? And how do the promises or policies made by politicians impact your day-to-day, your sense of safety, and your relationships? Joining me for this discussion is Dr Eve.
