  • Summary

  • This episode, recorded during the 16 Days Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, explores how we can consider culture when addressing gender-based violence - featuring counselors Hamsa Johnston and Zahra Abdurrahman.

    They discuss the diverse manifestations of family violence, the cultural challenges in recognising abuse, and propose policy changes - particularly for temporary visa holders facing financial dependence and housing insecurity. This episode emphasises the importance of non-judgmental support, empowerment, and collaboration with social service providers who may not recognise signs of family violence.

    Guests:

    Hamsa Johnston, Counselling Case Worker at North Richmond Community Health

    Zahra Abdurrahman, Specialist Family Violence Case Worker at the Australian Muslim Women's Centre for Human Rights
