Women around the world are waking up in statistically the most dangerous place for them on Earth...their homes. And with new restrictions in place due to COVID-19, they can't leave.
Today, we're diving into a tale of two pandemics, the coronavirus and domestic abuse. Jess Hill, author of See What You Made Me Do joins us on the show to discuss the current knowledge we have on domestic abuse, and what long-lasting effects could the current health pandemic have on women's economic equality and abuse in the future.
