Phoebe Handsjuk Part 2

from She Matters

They say it takes seven attempts before a woman successfully leaves an abuser. She only made it to number six. Her name is Phoebe Handsjuk. She was only 24. Most know her as the woman at bottom of the rubbish chute. But Pheobe was so much more than the circumstances of her death. For 25 years, Phoebe's family have been trying to find out the truth of what happened that day. Her mum Natalie joins She Matters to about their fight for justice, her daughter's strengths, passions and vulnerabilities and her legacy. This episode discusses suicide, substance abuse, mental health, coercive control, domestic violence and contains a graphic description of death. This is Pheobe's story.If you know anything, please call Crime Stoppers.PHOEBE HANDSJUK MATTERSThis season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms.
