Women's Hour

The episode of "Women's Hour" that I listened to, raised a few important issues. Some of them were connected to the roles that women play in our societes, or the serious problems they struggle with on a daily basis. There was also a bit about a new book in which the author is dealing with the tragic history of the women accused of witchcraft in 17th century.
The part of the podcast that interested me the most was also the heaviest and saddest one. The host discussed the the terrible story of three women being murdered by their parnter - T. Johnson. A criminologist who joined the discussion said that unfortunately the society isn't reacting to this as it should. Most people consider this as an event of domestic violence when it really should be treated as a "regular" murder. She thinks that one of the things that should be done about this, is to teach women how to recognize the features of an abusive partner, as they all have a lot of things in common.
