03. Survivor Stories: Listen, Learn & Believe Her

As part of our series on the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence (GBV), it is important to look at the root causes as well as speak to the people and organisations working in this field [https://katebrimsenekal.com/woman-up-s01-e02-survivor-services-interview-with-trauma-supervisor-jolene-yeo-from-cic/]. But the most important voices in the discussion around GBV are the survivors themselves.
