THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Podcast art for Future Women's There's No Place Like Home - award-winning podcast returns

Through ten captivating episodes, Future Women’s award-winning podcast There’s No Place Like Home pulls back the curtain on domestic and family violence.

This groundbreaking series is hosted by Tarang Chawla, whose sister Nikita was killed by her partner in 2015. Told in survivors’ own words, each episode tells the story of ten extraordinary people who generously share their most intimate thoughts, feelings, and experiences with you.

With compassion and clarity, There’s No Place Like Home articulates the vision for an Australian future in which domestic and family violence has been eradicated. An Australia that may be within our grasp, if we choose to listen, learn, and work together, building on the incredible initiatives already underway.

WE URGE YOU TO LISTEN

What do you do, you know? You don’t really expect people from your life or from your family unit to be capable of that kind of violence.

—AMANI

We marked the launch of There's No Place Like Home on 23 February at Cafe Sydney with a powerful panel discussion featuring Future Women's Jamila Rizvi, anti-violence advocate Tarang Chawla, family violence survivor and author Amani Haydar, violence prevention specialist Moo Baulch and CommBank Next Chapter's Sian Lewis.

THE COLD, HARD FACTS

Domestic and family violence is an epidemic. Violence against women in particular costs the Australian economy more than $22 billion each year, the majority of which is borne by victim-survivors. It’s time to treat it like the national emergency it is. But first? We have to listen and we have to learn.

‘I still grieve for who I should have been, and who I could have been in the life that I was supposed to have.’
