Episode 12: Femicide and Domestic Violence

The episode begins with Dr. Jimmell catching the Justice League up on what she has been up to since the last podcast episode over a month ago. Then she delves right into today's subject matter after the recent deaths of several Black women at the hands of intimate partners or family members. As always, she level sets with definitions of misogyny, domestic violence, and femicide. The episode then honors the lives of four Black women lost to femicide in the month of April: Dr. Cerina Fairfax, Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, Pastor Tammy McCollum and Executive Director Barbara Deer. Dr. Jimmell dispels myths about domestic violence and femicide, helps to defend families by providing resources for finding help, and concludes with a call for justice and advocacy. Takeaways * Femicide and domestic violence disproportionately impact Black women. * Femicide is PREVENTABLE and is a public health and human rights issue. One in 4 women and one in 9 men experience severe intimate partner violence. Justice in cases of domestic violence and femicide is not only about punishment, but it is about accountability, survivor dignity (in cases where there is a survivor), prevention and a commitment to make sure the warning signs never end in another life lost.
