Activate: Sixteen Conversations about Gender-based Violence

Carer Abuse and Disabled Survivors

Listen on

Episode notes

Conversation number four is with the incredible Amanda Warburton-Wynn. Amanda both works with and conducts research into the impact of domestic violence on older adults and people with disabilities. As you'll hear, people in these groups are uniquely vulnerable to being abused by members of their family and romantic partners.

You'll hear about:

• What we mean by "carer abuse"
• Why people with disabilities are more vulnerable
• The gaps in current services
• How we can move the picture forward and support these survivors.
