In this episode, Caroline speaks with Harriet Wistrich, solicitor and founder of the Centre for Women’s Justice, about law, feminism, and accountability. The conversation explores systemic failures in the criminal justice response to violence against women, the importance of police accountability, and the legal barriers faced by women in abusive relationships. Harriet reflects on her work through Justice for Women and how myths about domestic abuse continue to shape policy, practice, and public understanding.

In this episode, Caroline speaks with Sue Penna, author of The Recovery Toolkit, about domestic abuse, trauma, and recovery. Drawing on personal experience and many years in NHS mental health services, Sue discusses why trauma‑informed care matters, how language shapes recovery, and why stability can remain fragile long after abuse has ended. The conversation also explores the need for systemic change, better professional training, and approaches that genuinely support people rebuilding their lives.

In this episode, Caroline speaks with JoJo Kirkley about feminism as a collective project, not one limited to women and girls. JoJo reflects on her work in theatre for social change, the challenges faced by women in family court systems, and the importance of engaging young people in conversations about misogyny and gender‑based violence. The discussion explores how creative practice can preserve women’s stories, challenge harmful narratives, and contribute to more equitable responses to harm.
