  • Keep on Pushing: Diana On Domestic Violence and the Fight for a Safe Home

    Content note: this episode discusses domestic and family violence, homelessness and serious illness.

    Leaving is only the first step. In our first episode, Mandy Richards and Heidi Albertiri talk with Diana, a lived experience advocate who fled a violent marriage with her kids and only the clothes they were wearing. With no access to government support, they slept in a car while her son finished Year 12.

    Diana shares what came next: debt, years of court, crisis accommodation that wasn't there, and a rental market that kept pushing her out. She also talks about what real accountability could look like, and what owning a home through Global Sisters' Little Green Houses pilot would mean to her.
