In this episode I speak with Asma Begum, survivor of domestic abuse and founder of Soul Sister, and organisation to help support victims of domestic abuse.

During lockdown, those suffering from domestic abuse find themselves in an increasing bleak situation of being locked down with their abuser with fewer opportunities for contact with friends and family.

Asma shares her experience and offered advise for those in a similar situation and for all of us on how we can respond if we suspect domestic abuse.

Big thank you for Asma for talking to me on this issue and for offering advice and words of encouragement.

If you are suffering from domestic abuse, you can get help:

IF YOUR IN IMMEDIATE DANGER,
Call 999 and after prompting if you cant speak, stay silent and press 55. The operator will send the police out.
Otherwise call 101.
