One in two women are likely to experience some form of violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. And 95% of domestic violence victims are women battered by male partners. Men are the victims of almost 2 million acts of stranger-perpetrated violence annually and are more likely than women to be killed by a stranger, or someone with whom the relationship is unknown.
On this episode of Unsettled, we speak with two experts about safety threats to women and men and how to better educate and discuss violence prevention. We also hear personal stories from Jordan Wulf, a domestic abuse survivor and advocate, and Carlos Sheets, who lost his son, Malik, to gun violence.
Guests:
- Cody Howell, student care coordinator, dean of students, University of Iowa
- Maria Corona, Ph.D, executive director, Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence
- Jordan Wulf, domestic abuse survivor and advocate
- Carlos Sheets, father of Malik Sheets
