    Thank you for telling these important stories in such a sensitive way. Still so much to be done to stop femicide happening and also improve the experience of family’s who have to go through this.

  • Thank you

    Thank you team for spotlighting those whose voices haven’t been properly heard by the police, the courts, the media, and for that matter, the public. Podcasts like this open the gates to the reality of domestic abuse that are rarely heard, and definitely misunderstood… x

  • Important

    Essential listening. I went on to read the inquest findings for Holly. They are absolutely devastating. The “response” from police is totally chilling in its inadequacy. They should be ashamed. Thank you Sherele for your important work. Thoughts are with the victims and their families.

  • Sherelle, why?

    Why do you ask your guests the same question they've literally just answered? Are you listening to what they are saying? They're already sharing their most vulnerable moments and you're not acting at all in a trauma informed way. You've done this in several interviews now & it upsets me on your guests behalf. LISTEN TO THEM!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Amy Bowden Part 1
Q: What lessons does this story offer to listeners and advocates?
The story underscores the need for vigilant recognition of coercive control signs, stronger protective measures for survivors, early intervention by authorities, and continued, empathetic advocacy to support families and keep victims safe.
Amy Bowden Part 1
Q: What actions did you take to support Amy, and what obstacles did you encounter?
Her family repeatedly offered support, urged rehab and safe spaces, and tried to shield her from the abusive situation, but faced obstacles including manipulation, denial by authorities, and the partner's ongoing influence over Amy's decisions.
Amy Bowden Part 1
Q: Can you describe the coercive dynamics she faced and their impact on her safety?
The partner employed controlling tactics such as confiscating her phone, isolating her from family, and manipulating her environment, which progressively eroded her autonomy and safety, ultimately playing a critical role in the tragic outcomes.
Amy Bowden Part 1
Q: How did the pandemic affect Amy's life and choices?
COVID lockdowns intensified isolation for Amy, reduced access to ongoing clinical care, and pushed her toward online interactions that introduced harmful influences, contributing to increased depression and substance use.
Amy Bowden Part 1
Q: What was Amy's academic trajectory and what did she hope to pursue professionally?
Amy was an academically strong student who focused on science, aiming to work in research and potentially contribute to finding cures; she enrolled in pharmaceutical science and showed dedication to her studies, even juggling online-learning and in-person programs during the COVID period.
