Description

In today’s episode, Saba Eitizaz speaks to Andrea Gunraj, the VP of Public Engagement at the Canadian Women’s Foundation, about the horror of victims potentially trapped in self-isolation with their abusers, how they can get help, and how it’s our responsibility to help them. There are two versions of this episode. This one and another one in today's feed titled “May days.” That version doesn’t have the term “domestic violence” in the title or description anywhere in an attempt to be more accessible for people at risk of violence who might feel safer listening to it. In addition, if you—or someone you know—is at risk of violence, the Star has put together a resource guide for getting help at thestar.com/pleasehelp.
