There's No Place Like Home by Future Women

Many of us have observed a new romance from afar and felt uncomfortable. But what’s the difference between simply not liking someone’s partner and suspecting something sinister is going on? What about when it’s your new partner? Research tells us that more than half of all victims and survivors reach out to family and friends first. Whether you’re concerned about the wellbeing of a loved one or interrogating your own safety in a relationship, this season dives into the complex nuances of the warning signs of domestic abuse.  From love bombing and gaslighting to isolation and financial control, this podcast will become a practical resource helping you interrogate the relationships in your life.

    Bonus: Can a rapid intervention prevent further domestic violence disaster?

    Amanda Rishworth is the federal Social Services Minister. Two years ago her department released an ambitious strategy to end domestic violence against women and their children in a generation. Recently, the Albanese government commissioned a rapid review with practical advice on further action to prevent gender-based violence. Is all of this enough to curb the distressing increase in domestic violence homicides we’ve seen in 2024? Join There’s No Place Like Home's Executive Producer Sally Spicer for a special bonus episode on what that rapid review has dubbed a national emergency.  Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Visit the official website Keep up with Future Women on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and stay in touch with hashtag #TNPLH Learn more about Commbank Next Chapter Join Future Women to unlock professional development and community If you or someone you know is affected by domestic, family and sexual violence, contact the national service 1800RESPECT for free and confidential counselling, information and service referral.

    8. Hope

    The discourse around intimate partner violence can feel dispiriting and, sometimes, it can be hard to stay hopeful. But we need to hold on to hope. Hope for a better way forward. Hope for a future where this country is safe for everyone. In the final episode of There’s No Place Like Home season two, we turn our focus squarely to what we can do. To the hope and possibility that comes from putting into action what we’ve learned from victim-survivors and experts.  Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Visit the official website Keep up with Future Women on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and stay in touch with hashtag #TNPLH More information on Commbank Next Chapter Join Future Women If you or someone you know is affected by domestic, family and sexual violence, contact the national service 1800RESPECT for free and confidential counselling, information and service referral.

    5. Watched

    Tech-facilitated abuse can be overt. Think threatening phone calls or incessant messages. Or it can be covert, where an abuser monitors their partner’s online activity, hacks their emails or tracks their location through apps and ‘find my phone’ services, or even sends threatening messages via internet banking. In a rapidly evolving world, what does technologically-facilitated abuse look like? And where can you go for help?

    4. Jealousy

    We’ve all been jealous at some point in our lives. But there is a unique kind of jealousy specific to abusive partners. It’s the kind of jealousy that manifests in forms of abuse we’ve already discussed this season, like gaslighting and isolation. Experts dub it “sexual jealousy”, and they say it’s about entitlement, not love.  So how do you tell the difference?  Subscribe on Spotify, Apple or Google Play Visit the official website Keep up with Future Women on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and stay in touch with hashtag #TNPLH More information on Commbank Next Chapter Join Future Women Find out more about SmallSteps4Hannah If you or someone you know is affected by domestic, family and sexual violence, contact the national service 1800RESPECT for free and confidential counselling, information and service referral.

    3. Gaslit

    Gaslighting is the process of denying someone’s experience and what they believe to be true. In the last few years, it’s become part of our vernacular. In fact, in 2022, it was one of the most Googled words in the world.  But what is it? How do you spot it, how do we understand its true impact? And what do you do if it's happening to you, or someone you care about?  Subscribe on Spotify, Apple or Google Play Visit the official website Keep up with Future Women on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and stay in touch with hashtag #TNPLH More information on Commbank Next Chapter Join Future Women If you or someone you know is affected by domestic, family and sexual violence, contact the national service 1800RESPECT for free and confidential counselling, information and service referral.
