Ann and Emma record together, in person, for the first time since March of 2020. This month’s episode is a reflection on gender-based violence, men’s violence, and violence against women.
According to Women’s Aid, 244 women have died violently in Ireland since 1996.
Of resolved cases, 87% were perpetrated by a man.
13% of perpetrators were strangers.
We dedicate this episode to the memories of all these women.
You can report flashing and assault under section 45 of the sexual offences act
