She They Us | They Chose Violence Over Poverty

S01 E6: You can’t talk about women, gender-diverse people and housing without talking about gender-based violence.

We’ll talk to Cindy Chiasson from Betty’s Haven in the Yukon and Michaela Mayer at the Canadian Centre for Women’s Empowerment, learn about the experiences of newcomers facing intimate partner violence from Sara Eftekar and hear from Syreeta Moore about what it is like to have to make the choice between violence and poverty.
