<div> All this week we’ve teamed up with SafeLives to discuss why blind and partially sighted people are more likely to experience abuse and where people can go to get help and support. 
 
Paulina spoke with Saliha Rashid, a survivor and campaigner for gender-based abuse with a particular interest in its effects on those with a disability.  
 
Please be aware the following interview discusses abuse and traumatic experiences which some listeners may find distressing. 
 
If you or someone you know is going through a similar experience, then support is available. 
 
If you are in immediate danger, please call 999 and ask for the police.
