In the second episode of series 1, Jane and Jodes discuss the question: Do we feel safe as women?
Be prepared to be startled by some statistics and hard hitting headlines to really shine a light on the problem. Jane & Jodes share some stories, personal experiences as well as discuss some recent cases that have (or have not) made the headlines before getting down to what really needs to change to enable women to feel safe to go about their business without having to run through a checklist before they leave the house.
In this episode we pay tribute to one of our feminist icons, Laura Bates. We love all of her books but highly recommend you read her latest book - Fix The System, Not The Women. You can get it on Amazon here: https://amzn.eu/d/4QywkAz
