Truth Hurts: Sheltering from domestic violence


Listen Later

Violence against women is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in the world. More than one in three women worldwide say they experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. The pandemic has made things worse: confinement trapped millions of women around the world at home with their abusers. In the first episode of the OECD podcast series “Truth Hurts” Charlotte Kneer, CEO of Reigate and Barnstead Women’s Aid, tells Monika Queisser how her personal experience with intimate partner violence brought her to running shelters, why it can be so difficult to leave an abusive relationship, and what governments must do to prevent domestic violence against women and offer better support for survivors.
