I was like dude, the baby's days overdue, like, needless to say as well, that I was given birth alone because he wouldn't let anybody look after our daughter, and his mum refused to leave her dog to do it. But also this guy's going to help you get that bloody baby.
Imagine enduring years of violence, only to emerge stronger and more determined to make a difference. That's exactly what Natasha Saunders did. In this episode of 'Take Back The Beat: Voice Notes', hosts Natalie Gray and Farah T sit down with Natasha, a survivor of domestic abuse, to hear her powerful story. Natasha opens up about the harrowing eight years she spent in an abusive marriage, facing not just physical violence but also the emotional scars of rape and control.
Her journey is not just about survival; it's about rising above the pain and reclaiming her life. Natasha's candid conversation sheds light on the different forms of domestic abuse that many women endure, often feeling trapped and isolated. She shares how long it took her to recognize her situation as abuse and the pivotal role support systems played in her escape and recovery.
Organizations like Refuge and Women's Aid were lifelines, providing the resources and courage she needed to leave her abuser and start anew. Natasha's story is a testament to resilience and hope. Her advocacy work now aims to raise awareness about domestic abuse and support other survivors in their healing journeys. She encourages anyone facing similar situations to speak up and seek help, emphasizing that life after abuse is not only possible but can be filled with purpose and empowerment.
Tune in to hear Natasha's inspiring journey and learn how you can contribute to breaking the cycle of violence and supporting survivors.
