01
Masculinity

What It Means to Be a Man

Women grow up all of their lives learning how to stay safe from men. This has been the norm, but it shouldn't be. Instead of the responsibility falling onto women, what are men being taught to not harm women?

02
Domestic Abuse

Are You Being Manipulated?

When it comes to domestic abuse, many people assume it revolves around physical harm. But domestic abuse starts with emotional abuse, and that's how survivors get caught up in the abuse. Having the knowledge on what emotional abuse looks like can be a powerful tool for protection against DA.

03
Trafficking

It Doesn't Look Like the TikTok

TikTok is known for the spread of misinformation, and although done in good conscience, many videos made around human trafficking prevention are actually very misleading. It's important to educate ourselves on the real signs of being targeted for human trafficking, as it is much more discreet than we think.

04
Crime & Law

Performative Protection: Clare's Law and the Illusion of Progress

Many schemes that have been put in place with the guise to protect women are actually useless, as MET police and the justice system's foundational practices sabotage their effectiveness, leaving women with the illusion of having options and protection, when really, it's more of a performative act to save face.

05
Modern Slavery

How Modern Slavery Targets Women

What does modern slavery look like, who's involved, and how is it disproportionately targeting women? This podcast will reveal all those answers and a twist: in some domains, women are actually the main exploiters of other women.

06
Opinion

This Number Hasn't Changed in 16 Years

The number of women killed by men in the UK has held flat for sixteen years, through MeToo, new laws, and every awareness campaign in between. What a stagnant crisis looks like when nobody treats it as one, and why the coverage still hasn't caught up.
