Warning: This podcast discusses domestic abuse with occasional graphic content.
Emma Dalmayne was just 17-years-old when she fled her abusive partner with her baby. Emma, who is autistic, has experienced violence at the hands of two ex-partners and has lived in a women's refuge. Saliha Rashid faced honour-based violence from her family. As a blind woman she thought they were being protective, until she went to university and realised their behaviour was abuse. It took her three attempts to escape.
According to the statistics, disabled people are three times more likely to experience domestic abuse - but why is this?
Presented by Keiligh Baker.
