The SHE Word Special - Women and the Truth about Domestic Violence

This outstanding and powerful show is the second on the topic of Domestic and Gender Based Violence. In conjunction with Riformi and the 16 Days of Activism Campaign, Trudy sits with her guests to discuss the reality of violence against women, looking at where Malta is winning in the fight against violence, and where there is need to do so much more. Trudy and her guests also discuss the opportunities for the all of Malta - especially men - to create change.

‘Miss Malta 2024’ Beatrice Njoya tells her heartbreaking, inspirational and moving story of surviving decades of domestic violence. She shares her darkest moments, explains what it took for her fight for a new life for herself and her children, and truly inspires by sharing her journey from utter desperation to standing on stage representing Malta at Miss Universe.

The show includes a frank and honest conversation with Domestic Violence Commissioner Samantha Pace Gasan and Cultural Change expert Georgina Portelli about what violence means, when and what can we take action against, and what radical changes need to be made to reshape society’s view on violence against women (and men).

With statistics revealing that 1 in 4 women will experience Domestic Violence, 1 in 3 women will experience Intimate Partner Violence in their lifetime, this is a show for EVERY woman, and man.
