Domestic Violence An Ongoing Pandemic with Katharine Berg of La Casa de las Madres

In this episode, we discuss domestic violence – an issue that affects one third of women and teen girls in the U.S. As the COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread sheltering in place, the situation has only gotten worse.

Many domestic violence advocates are calling attention to the fact that this, too, is an epidemic, and we need to do more to prevent it.

My guest is Katharine Berg, director of community partnerships and philanthropy at La Casa de las Madres, a domestic violence prevention organization in San Francisco.
