In the Driver's Seat
The Australian warrior fighting the domestic violence epidemic
Show Notes

The domestic violence warrior Simone Patterson takes us inside this epidemic.

Sonya chats to the Founder of The Sanctuary, a Domestic Violence sanctuary for women, children & pets, Simone Patterson. 

It is a very important conversation to have as it is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month. A time to raise community awareness of domestic and family violence and to send a clear message that domestic and family violence in families and homes will not be tolerated. #notnownotever


Sonya and Simone chat about why she started The Sanctuary, what it does for the women, children and pets. They also discuss the lack of Government funding available, plus the red-tape and legislations that need changing. 


They chat about hoarding, Simone’s life as a prison warden, and what the women need to feel empowered again. 


We can all do something. People Power.
