Lucy Wade, the creator of 'You Don't Own Me,' a comprehensive website on domestic abuse, discusses her initiatives including the 'Let's Talk' series and podcast 'Dip In and Out with Lucy.'

The conversation explores how domestic abuse affects individuals in the workplace, the importance of breaking stigmas, providing support, and the crucial role of employers and colleagues in creating a safe environment.

Lucy emphasises the ongoing nature of abuse, even post-separation, and the misconceptions around why victims don't simply 'leave.' She highlights the significance of understanding, compassion, and tailored support in helping survivors regain control of their lives.
