In today’s episode of English with Love, we take a moment to slow down and reflect together.
November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and this mini-lesson is dedicated to understanding this important day while practicing slow and clear English.

This episode is gentle, thoughtful, and designed to help you train your ear, improve your English listening skills, and learn meaningful vocabulary in a calm and supportive way.
We explore what violence against women really means — physical, emotional, sexual, economic — and we also talk about coercive control and child marriage, two issues that affect many women and girls around the world.

You’ll also discover:
✨ why the United Nations created this day
✨ how communities and organisations take action
✨ small but powerful things each of us can do
✨ how awareness, respect, and kindness can help create real change

My goal is always the same: to offer slow, clear, easy, and effective English that fits into your life and helps you learn with confidence.
But today, we also learn with empathy — because understanding these topics is part of becoming global, caring citizens.
