What if feeling unsafe wasn't just a fleeting moment but a constant reality for many women? On this heart-wrenching episode of Say it Sister, we, Lucy and Karen, open up about our own experiences with personal safety and share the collective tales of women who navigate a world rife with violence and harassment. By highlighting historical and current data, we aim to shed light on this persistent issue and create a safe space for open, honest dialogue. Together, we explore ways to confront these harsh realities and offer resources for empowerment and support.

From the troubling normalisation of male violence against young girls to the radicalisation of young boys through online figures, we tackle difficult but necessary conversations. We discuss how childhood harassment leaves an indelible mark and scrutinise rhetoric that trivialises these experiences. Through a compassionate, feminine lens, we challenge dismissive attitudes and advocate for reclaiming traditional narratives to empower women. Personal stories become a powerful tool for fostering understanding and driving change.

Trusting our bodies and using our voices are pivotal themes in this episode. We delve into the complexities of recognizing uncomfortable or unsafe situations, even when they involve people we trust. By sharing our personal journeys towards healing and empowerment, we emphasize the importance of seeking support and listening to our instincts. We discuss the significance of addressing past traumas, building inner trust, and creating supportive environments for resilience. Join us as we strive for a safer, more empowered future for all women.
