Ep TW: Abuse, Rape, Suicide

On average, one woman is killed by an abusive partner or ex every five days in England and Wales - but how many more are abused just before that point, and how many South Asians actually come forward to talk about it?

In this episode, we talk to lawyer, @LegallyMaz, and Bal, a survivor of abuse who share their views on abuse within South Asian communities.

We talk about the steps to seeking help, the importance of good representation, the results of abuse on children and the lasting impact, and end with some words of hope and encouragement going forward.
