In this podcast we talk about technology-enabled coercive control (TECC). Hosts Natalie Dolci and Kayleigh Mcniel interview experts to explore how technology can be misused to cause abuse, harm, and gender-based violence, along with the ways platforms, survivor's communities, and our legal systems respond. This is a podcast of the Sexual Violence Law Center, which works to support survivors of sexual harassment and assault who are experiencing tech abuse.
Somebody Must Say These Things
By speaking with survivors and the women who make it their mission to end the issue for good, this podcast casts a stark, unapologetic light on our society’s continued insufficient acknowledgement of Violence Against Women. They follow the stories of survivors and examine the critical, unappreciated role of transition houses. They also speak with the boots-on-the-ground workers who fight everyday to help women and children in need. Together, their insights offer a new, clear perspective on the current status of abuse and violence in the province of Nova Scotia and what we need to do to ensure a brighter tomorrow.
The goal of this podcast is to hold meaningful and empowering conversations on subjects pertaining to relationship violence, assault, and abuse. As trained Prevention Educators, our day to day work is focusing on providing education on recognizing signs of unhealthy and abusive behaviors, and how to identify/provide resources for support in dealing with these issues. They also want these conversations to be a chance to provide self-empowerment by sharing out important concepts on how to take care of ourselves, especially so we can take care of others. This podcast is a place to extend these important conversations outside of our own communities, to educate, deconstruct, and come together in solidarity on these issues.
Civic is the flagship audio program of the San Francisco Public Press, a nonprofit news institution, covering the city and how it works. The radio program airs every weekday on KSFP -LP 102.5 FM in San Francisco. Their series on coercive control takes a deeper look into ways that the system is failing survivors. The second episode in the series "When judges dismiss claims of domestic abuse, children can pay the ultimate price" features snippets from the DomesticSheltesr.org webinar with Dr. Lisa Aronson Fontes.
