Imagine you need to ask for help with a REALLY personal and complicated problem.
Now imagine that the person who is supposed to help you with this problem just doesn't "get it".
It's horrible, right?
Ivy McKenzie helps women in this situation every day.
She works for a unique charity called Sistah Space. It was set up to focus on black women affected by abuse (very personal, very complicated).
But they don't want to be unique!
They are campaigning to make training about black women mandatory for those working to identify and help survivors and victims.
This would mean that women would be able to access support where ever they are, and whatever the colour of their skin.
How do we do that? By having and sharing more conversations like this one...
Quote of the episode: "Women come to us and tell us all the time that we make them feel a way that no one does.”
