In this episode, we meet Rebecca, a survivor of domestic abuse, who recounts the night that changed her life forever. Dr. Anita Riecher-Rössler, Professor Emerita of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Basel, explains the psychological impact of male violence, and Rosa Logar, one Europe’s leading campaigners, describes fighting for women’s freedom from violence for over 40 years.
