  • Femicide: With Dawn Wilcox of Women Count USA

    Complete Show Notes & Extra Goodies here


    Femicide is the epidemic of our time, and Dawn Wilcox, full-time nurse based in Texas, is fighting single-handedly to end it.   
    In 2017, Wilcox founded Women Count USA, a national database and femicide census of women and girls murdered by men in the United States.
    This riveting episode is packed with data and resources for victims of domestic violence.

    SHOW NOTES

    * 12 Step Program for healing betrayal bonds of domestic violence survivors:  Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous


    * Betrayal Bonds: Breaking Free of Exploitive Relationships, a book by Patrick Carnes that details the bizarre ways our brains actually change to bond us to our abusers

    * Noonlight App for safety: Sends emergency services to your location with the push of a button

    * WomensLaw.org  Plain-language legal information for abuse victims seeking protection


    * RightsofWomen.org.co.uk: Talkin' about Coercive Control: A subtle form of domestic abuse that is now illegal in the UK

    * CBSNEWS.com  Article on the Alabama man who murdered his ex, 3 other people, and himself, after his ex-wife tried twice to obtain protection orders

    ______________

    PODCASTS REFERENCED; FOR STUDY & CRIME PREVENTION PURPOSES


    * Cold Podcast: I was addicted to this for a while.  The true story of Josh Powell, a narcissist who emotionally manipulated his wife for years, then brutally and horrifically murdered her, got away with the murder, then went on to kill himself and two toddler sons.   It's a gut-wrenching story, but I found it important to hear, as if it were a violence-prevention guide of its own accord.

    * Hell & Gone Podcast:  Arkansas holds deadly secrets, and many of them lie in - yet again - men in authority not doing their jobs

    * Man In The Window: Podcast about the serial killer who could have been caught long before he raped & murdered myriad women, (as well as a few dogs) had men in authority simply done their jobs

    Complete Show Notes @ www.rainbowstarmusic.com/episode1 ✨
    Art is a powerful tool for healing, and when Facebook started blocking my content and banning me for speaking out about #metoo and domestic violence and calling for #freethenipple, this podcast was formed on the grounds of necessity. Women’s voices must be heard.

    *SARK: Author of the whimsical, fun & deep af self-help journal that helped birth the beginnings of self love for me: “Succulent Wild Woman”. Side note: While taking her online courses ( search “Succulent Wild World on Facebook) this and last year, I spoke face to face with her a few times via Skype. We are kindred namesakes (her full name is Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy!), and if ya tell her you know RAINBOW the musician in Kentucky with the cats and the tiny house, she will know who ya mean. She lives in San Francisco in a magical cottage with her love, and looks almost identical to my sunshiney mother. ✨🌟✨
