Family violence: What’s the role of the larger community?

Thursday May 14, 2015

It’s hard enough for victims to report abuse. But what if the result of coming forward is isolation from family, friends and community? Open lines with Rupaleem Bhuyan, Associate Professor at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto.

The podcast (mp3 file) begins at 6 min. 40 sec. after news and weather. Prof. Bhuyan is introduced at 17 min. 40 sec. The entire file runs 1 hr. 30 sec.

The callers illustrate many layers that victims of incest and family violence go through, in different communities.
