On average, one woman a week in Australia is murdered by her current or former partner.
10 women a day are hospitalised for assault injuries perpetrated by a spouse or domestic partner.
1 in 3 women have experienced physical violence since the age of 15.
These statistics have been pulled from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and tell a shocking truth about domestic violence within our society.
Now you’re thinking, what’s this got to do with sport? Well, this episode’s guest is determined to be more than a statistic. Kim O’Riley is a survivor of domestic violence, an advocate for educating sporting clubs and empowering them to take a zero-tolerance approach when it comes to violence.
Kim bravely share’s her journey, whilst still living with the effects that a former partner has inflicted, in the hope that it can help others. And what I like most, using sport as the tool to do so.
A trigger warning for this episode as we discuss some heavy topics such as domestic violence and mental health, if this is something that is distressing for you, please feel to give this one a skip, if you require assistance with this, please check the resources in the show notes, or if you’re in Australia call 1800 RESPECT.
