About This Podcast

What happens when Aboriginal women seek help with domestic and family violence? Who do we turn to? What works? Who fails us and why? What do us inner city Aboriginal women think could work better? In this 5 part podcast series, a group of inner city Aboriginal women from Sydney, Australia, yarn about domestic and family violence. You won't hear about the violence itself. You'll hear what happens when our women try and get help for themselves and their families. In episodes 1, 2 and 3, you'll be inside the yarning circles, hearing our women's stories and experiences. In episodes 4 and 5, you'll go on a tour inside Mudgin-Gal to visit the playgroup and weaving session, and hear an interview by Larissa Behrendt with Ashlee Donohue and Jane Wangmann about their research. HOST Host Ashlee Donohue is a proud Dunghutti woman, born and raised in Kempsey on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia. Ashlee is the current CEO of Mudgin-Gal Women's Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal led and run women's centre in Redfern, Sydney. VOICES You'll hear the voices of inner city Aboriginal women in Sydney, between 18 and 65, who shared their stories over four yarning circles: Debbie, Donna, Jamie-Lee, Jess, Kowana, Lucy, Selena, Stacey, Tahlia, Tanay and Tracy. There were other women who generously shared their stories in the yarning circles and chose not to be in the podcast. These yarning circles took place at Mudgin-Gal Women's Place in 2023 and 2024. As well as host Ashlee Donohue, you'll hear Jane Wangmann, family violence researcher and Law professor at the University of Technology Sydney. CREDITS These yarning circles were part of social impact research by Ashley Donohue and Jane Wangmann. Artwork by Vicki Golding. The podcast is produced by Jane Curtis of UTS Impact Studios. Impact Studios Executive Producer is Sarah Gilbert. Our theme music is Intertwined, written by Nardi Simpson and performed by The Stiff Gins.
