Summary

An Original Audiobook Production by W. F. Howes.


One in three women will experience physical or sexual violence—often at the hands of someone they know. But safety goes far deeper than direct violence.


In this investigative documentary, Cherry Healey explores the hidden systems that shape women's safety: economic control, healthcare barriers, systemic bias, online abuse, and workplace harassment. Speaking with leading experts including Dr Carolyne, Soma Sara, Sophia Smith Galer, Devamsha Gunput, Sharon Gaffka, Betty Mukherjee, Emma Williams-Tully, and Dr Christine Ekechi, she examines what it truly takes to be safe as a woman in the modern world—from everyday life and dating to healthcare and work.


SAFER isn't just about the problems: It's a practical toolkit for solutions, combining investigation with actionable steps for creating a world where men and women are equally safe and respected. Timely, urgent, and essential listening.
