Ep 9. What's the mental health impact of news stories of violence against women?

When there have been news stories, some widely reported, about women losing their lives due to violence against them by men, it makes for difficult reading and watching. However, when the reporting stops, and a story's newsworthy life comes to an end, do we stop thinking about it? In this episode, we speak about how these stories and incidents stay with us, we talk about the conversations we have around them and also how the harrowing and horrifying nature of the violence being committed changes the way we behave to keep ourselves safe. We also talk through what we do more widely to try to keep safe and we touch on specific news stories to highlight the relevance and the changes over the years in our feelings about female violence and how it's reported.
