Escape

Somebody Must Say These Things

07-10-2021 • 24 mins

Leaving an abusive partner is not as straightforward a decision as it may appear. The manipulation of victims and the threats made toward them make leaving the most dangerous time for women and children in abusive situations. In this episode, we spoke with transition house employees to understand what goes into leaving for a shelter safely and what women can expect upon arrival.


This podcast was made possible by the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia. THANS exists to eliminate violence against women in Nova Scotia. Their organizations provide a full range of support services to women and their children in a safe, supportive environment and provide survivors of violence with opportunities to learn about available resources and alternatives to facilitate informed personal choices and decisions."


THANS is not 100% government funded by the provincial or federal government. This needs to change. Go to thans.ca to learn how you can help.


This podcast is narrated by Grace McNutt.


Produced by Podstarter.
