ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Warning: This episode discusses domestic violence and other sensitive subjects.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the U.S. have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. An estimated five people, mostly women, lose their lives to domestic violence every day. Maria Corona, who leads Violence Free Iowa: The Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, joined the Fearless podcast to discuss survivors' experiences and the support organizations in Iowa that advocate on their behalf.
This is the final episode of our three-episode series titled “Doing the Hard Things.” If you or someone you know is in need of help, the Iowa Victim Service Call Center can be reached at 800-770-1650 or by texting “iowahelp” to 20121.
