Every day, in every country in the world, women are confronted by discrimination and inequality. They face violence, abuse and unequal treatment at home, at work and in their wider communities – and are denied opportunities to learn, to earn and to lead.

Despite the many advancements and the progress that has been made in the fight for equality amongst men and women - we will live in  society that still discriminates and segregates women from many aspects of life. The recent murder of Sarah Everard, has further highlighted the struggles and challenges that women continue to face in the 21st Century. On this episode, our first on a series dealing with women and social justice, we want to look at Women and Abuse - as we delve deep into what the challenges are and how it impacts women of today.
