Content warning: This story contains references to domestic violence. In Australia, 1 in 6 women are survivors of domestic violence. For migrant women, that rises to 1 in 3. In South Asian communities, shame and taboo can bury these stories even deeper, silencing survivors of physical, emotional and financial abuse. In this episode, host Saesha Senanayake hears from Emma*, trauma-informed counsellor Shalina Lodhia, human rights lawyer Lokesh Kashyap, and sexual health and forensic medicine specialist Dr Vanita Parekh on the cultural, legal and medical supports needed to break that silence.
