Every two minutes, Australian police respond to a case of domestic violence; a nationwide problem costing the economy an estimated $22bn each year. Many of us would find these figures shocking – partly because domestic violence is a problem that is not often spoken about.
Our guest this week not only knows about the magnitude of this problem but has dedicated her life to doing something about it. Leanne Barron is the CEO of Starick, a charity supporting women and children who are escaping domestic and family violence. Leanne shares her perspectives on the amazing work that her team are doing, the cultural and inter-generational factors within domestic violence, how to care for the carers and the importance of ukulele song-writing as a creative outlet!
