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 3 - From Then to Now: The History of GBV Services in Oxford County with Brenda Boswell

What did support for survivors of gender-based violence look like 50 years ago — and how did we get to where we are now? In this episode, we sit down with Brenda Boswell, a longtime advocate and frontline worker, to look back on the early days of GBV services in Oxford County.

From grassroots beginnings to today’s coordinated community response, Brenda shares stories, lessons, and the growing pains of building a local support system for survivors. It’s a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come — and how much further we still need to go.
