Hosted by Ruth Reymundo and co-hosted by David Mandel, the podcast offers deep, professionally grounded discussions about how institutions respond to domestic abuse, gender-based violence, and child maltreatment. In many episodes, Ruth and David are joined by global leaders in areas such as child safety, men and masculinity, perpetrator accountability, fatherhood, and partnering with survivors.

Each episode takes a rigorous look at complex topics, including how systems fail adult and child survivors, how societal narratives about masculinity and violence shape professional practice, and how intersectional factors such as cultural beliefs, religious beliefs, racialised identities, LGBTQ+ experiences, immigration status, disability, and other vulnerabilities influence how we respond to abuse and violence.

The podcast offers an insider lens into how professionals navigate systems as practitioners, as parents, and as partners. Through candid dialogue and critical reflection, Ruth and David challenge the assumptions and structures that prevent meaningful accountability, safety, and healing. The goal is collective movement across systems, cultures, and families toward safety, nurturance, and sustained change.

Note: Episodes contain sensitive topics and occasional mature language that may be difficult for some listeners.
