Through ten captivating episodes, There’s No Place Like Home pulls back the curtain to reveal the nature and impact of domestic and family violence in Australia. Told in survivors’ own words, each episode tells the story of ten extraordinary people who generously share their most intimate thoughts, feelings, and experiences with you.
Sometimes it might be hard to listen. Hard to front up to the truth of abuse that happens behind closed doors in homes around Australia. But we absolutely must listen. Only through listening will we be able to comprehend the sheer scale and individual nuance of how domestic and family violence is perpetrated in Australia and the damage it does.
There’s No Place Like Home is hosted byTarang Chawla, whose sister Nikita was killed by her partner in 2015. Tarang brings his lived experience, empathy and understanding to the fore as he presents an unflinching assessment of the current situation and explores the possible solutions.
With compassion and clarity, There’s No Place Like Home articulates a vision for an Australian future in which domestic and family violence has been eradicated. An Australia that may be within our grasp, if we choose to listen, learn, and work together, building on the incredible initiatives already underway.
This is a podcast by Future Women, made in collaboration with CommBank, which is supporting long-term financial independence for victim-survivors through CommBank Next Chapter.
