Chad Holmes interviews Jane Graham Jennings, executive director of the women's community, discussing the grim reality of domestic violence, especially during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Despite decades of advocacy, domestic violence remains rampant, with Wisconsin seeing 110 related homicides in 2024. Jennings highlights the complexities of domestic violence, including victim-blaming and systemic manipulation by perpetrators. She stresses the need for alternative approaches beyond the criminal legal system, which often fails to hold abusers accountable. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of support systems for victims and the ongoing struggle to offer resources and safe havens.
