The Documentary Podcast - Behind Closed Doors: Solutions to Domestic Abuse in Indonesia

Download Behind Closed Doors: Solutions to Domestic Abuse in Indonesia

Indonesia has just conducted its first ever national survey on domestic violence. It found that 41% of women had experienced some form of domestic abuse. We hear about the work of a pioneering crisis and counselling centre offering holistic support, the first organisation of its kind in Indonesia.

In Behind Closed Doors Claire Bolderson reports from three different countries: Kenya, Peru and Indonesia.

The issue that unites them all is domestic violence. It’s not that the problem is unique to these countries - the World Health Organisation estimates that one third of women worldwide suffer physical or sexual violence by a partner - but in each of the three countries, we hear about different and often inspiring solutions aimed at combating it.
