Hey, I’m Sophie Foster, and welcome to our podcast! Each week, I sit down with local experts to ask the questions we're all wondering about gender-based violence - what abuse really is, when to reach out, and how we can help prevent it—right here in Oxford County. This podcast is brought to you by the women's shelters in Oxford County - Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (DASO) and Ingamo Homes - and funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation Seed Grant. New episodes are released every Wednesday!

Episode 10 - It Happens at Work Too: Violence and Harassment on the Job

Workplace violence and harassment are far more common than most people realize — and often rooted in subtle but powerful dynamics. In this episode, I sit down with Margaret MacPherson, Research Associate at the Western University Centre for Research and Education on Violence Against Women and Children, to talk about power literacy — understanding how power operates in the workplace and how it can be abused.We explore why these behaviours are so normalized, how to recognize when something isn’t right, and what to do next: from seeking support, to documenting everything, to starting the conversation. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to better navigate, challenge, and change toxic workplace cultures.Links from this episode:Make It Our Business provides information and education to help employers and other workplace stakeholders to meet their obligations under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act. https://www.makeitourbusiness.ca/ Julie Diamond's book - Power: A User's Guide https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/power-a-users-guide/9780996660303.htmlNational Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girlshttps://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/ Resources:Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website: www.ingamohomes.comWomen's Employment Resource Centre (WERC)Website: https://werc.ca/Email: werc@werc.ca Follow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat
