Northern Ireland's Femicide Epidemic Part 1

This episode covers a deeply serious and ongoing issue — the femicide epidemic in Northern Ireland, where a pattern of women being killed by men, often in the context of domestic abuse, continues to emerge. In Part One, I break down what femicide means, why these cases aren’t isolated, and how warning signs are too often missed. It’s a heavy conversation — but an important one, because these are real lives, not just headlines.
