5: Domestic Violence

Did you know that teenagers (16-19) are 40% more likely to suffer from domestic violence than people in their twenties (20-24)? Do teenagers even really know what qualifies as domestic violence or that they can become victims, seeing as the majority think DV happens to married middle-aged people? Would your teenager recognise the red-flags or warning signs of a potentially or actively abusive partner? If the answer is ‘no’ to any of the questions, stop what you are doing and listen! This episode delves into the experience of Suzy – a ‘normal’ teenager who found herself in a violent and deadly relationship, aged seventeen. We discuss warning signs, the issue of gaslighting and what we can do to help a generation far more vulnerable to domestic violence than most of us probably think. With invaluable and practical advice from Lisa King, the Director of Communications at REFUGE , this episode is a lifeline for any teenager entering the dating world or in any worried about their – or a friend’s – relationship, and for parents who often don’t notice the warning signs until it’s too late.
