Indonesia has just conducted its first ever national survey on domestic violence. It found that 41% of women had experienced some form of domestic abuse. We hear about the work of a pioneering crisis and counselling centre offering holistic support, the first organisation of its kind in Indonesia. In Behind Closed Doors Claire Bolderson reports from three different countries: Kenya, Peru and Indonesia. The issue that unites them all is domestic violence. It’s not that the problem is unique to these countries - the World Health Organisation estimates that one third of women worldwide suffer physical or sexual violence by a partner - but in each of the three countries, we hear about different and often inspiring solutions aimed at combating it.

Rates of domestic violence in the Peruvian Andes are particularly high - nearly double the national average. The shocking case of violence against Arlette Contreras Bautista, was caught on hotel security cameras, led to calls for greater action against domestic violence. In August 2016, tens of thousands of people marched through the Peruvian capital, Lima to protest against the country’s shockingly high rates of violence against women. We hear how some inspiring women are working together to raise awareness about domestic violence and putting pressure on their government to act.

För 15 år sedan dödade Dianas pappa hennes mamma. Sedan sköt han ihjäl ytterligare en person. Diana, som var sex år vid tidpunkten för morden, gjorde allt för att glömma. Men nu vill hon minnas. Man försöker ganska hårt med att få ett normalt liv. Tyvärr så har mitt sätt att komma över, varit att glömma bort. Det har varit så himla enkelt att skita i vem egentligen man är eller vad man har för bakgrund. Så jag behöver nog ta reda på det för min egen skull, säger Diana. Hon har knappt några minnen kvar av sin mamma. Vem var hon? Vad var det egentligen som hände när hennes pappa mördade hennes mamma?  Diana har gett sig själv ett halvår. Under den tiden ska hon ta reda på allt hon kan om sin bakgrund. Jag tror att det kommer vara känslosamt som fan, men det behövs. Jag vill veta vad som hände och jag vill minnas henne.

Irritaties nemen toe, en daarmee ook de oproep tot verdraagzaamheid. In de documentaire van Geert van de Wetering en Danielle Emans horen we mensen die de dupe worden van vergaande ergernissen. Gewoon thuis aan tafel, in het verkeer, of door kwetsende handgeschreven brieven van een anonieme afzender. Hoe blijf je verdraagzaam als je wordt geconfronteerd met het hatelijk gedrag van een ander? En zit er een grens aan die verdraagzaamheid? - Gek van geluid: Iedereen luistert naar muziek. Voor de een zijn de speakertjes van een tablet goed genoeg, een ander heeft een versterker met boxen. Maar er is een groep mensen die alleen genoegen neemt met het allerbeste van het allerbeste: de audiofielen. Maar wat ís het allerbeste? En hoeveel geld moet je daarvoor meebrengen?Radiomaker Hans Fledderus zag op Marktplaats een set speakers te koop staan van 35.000 euro. Hij verbaasde zich daar zó over dat hij op zoek ging naar mensen die bereid zijn zulk soort bedragen uit te geven aan audioapparatuur.In de documentaire Gek van Geluid neemt Hans Fledderus u mee in de wereld van de audiofielen.
