What happens when the legal system meant to protect survivors ends up criminalizing them?In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we’re joined by Dr. Jenniffer Olenewa, who shares insights from her PhD research on the criminalization of women and survivors of gender-based violence.Together, we unpack the history of how survivors have been treated by the justice system, explore growing conversations around coercive control and the potential criminalization of femicide, and examine why these issues are far more complex than they might seem. From unintended consequences to difficult questions about justice, accountability, and protection, this episode challenges assumptions and invites deeper reflection.Resources & Support:Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website:www.ingamohomes.comFollow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat
