Activate: Sixteen Conversations about Gender-based Violence

Just What is Non-fatal Strangulation?

Listen on

Episode notes

Interview number three is with the wonderful Gemma Hinds. Gemma and I discuss non-fatal strangulation and why we all need to be aware of it. Non-fatal strangulation became its own offense earlier in 2022, but as you'll hear, public awareness of what it is and how severe the risks are is still lacking.

You'll hear about:

• what does (and doesn't) constitute non-fatal strangulation
• the longer-term risks for people who experience it
• what professionals need to know and ask
• what to do if this happens to you or someone you love
• how to support survivors when they disclose their experiences to you.
