This week's episode is a twofer.
According to the World Health Organization, one in three women around the world experience physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate partner. In Asia, is it one of the deadliest forms of violence— killing more people per year, than armed conflict and wars. Yet, it continues to be among the least reported human rights abuses, and continues to be dramatically overlooked by governments and policymakers.
Domestic violence during this pandemic has increased by 20%, so this episode will highlight this growing public health crisis by sharing the stories of two women: Arbe Chan Man-yi, and Lamu.
