The general perception of domestic abuse and it's reality can be far removed. The picture of a black eye and it only involving two adults in a relationship can often mean it's overlooked, excused and unrelatable.This episode looks at breaking some of those myths down and shows how damaging it is that the current Domestic Abuse Bill doesn't include children and young people.We hear from Paulette, who has lived in domestic abuse from being a young girl to becoming a mother herself and look at sexual abuse in a domestic context.Please note this audio comes with a trigger warning and refers to sexual abuse.With thanks to Gwen Bleasdale CEO of The Liberty Centre and Naomi Donald pioneer of SafeLives and Founder of PODS (Protect Our Daughters and Sons) and Paulette for sharing her journey with us.Help and Support:https://www.mankind.org.uk/CALL 01823 334244Confidential helpline for male victims of domestic abuse and domestic violenceWeekdays 10am to 4pmWomen’s Aid live chat is on the Women's Aid website. https://www.womensaid.org.uk/National Domestic abuse helpline 08082000247Samaritans 116123Call 999 if in immediate dangerUndiscussable has been backed by the Audio Content Fund for a special 8 part series with national radio station TalkRadio in the UK.
