Victim Blaming in Domestic Violence with Ruth Glenn

This week we are speaking to domestic violence survivor Ruth Glenn.  Ruth is the CEO and president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the author of a very personal memoir EVERYTHING I NEVER DREAMED, My Life Surviving and Standing Up to Domestic Violence. On this episode (as well as in her book), Ruth explores the dynamics of domestic violence, why women and children are seen as lesser in our society, how to stop victim-blaming, and how to demystify domestic violence to stop it once and for all. This is a powerful episode about changing the narrative and seeing the red flags around domestic violence.
