We are proud to release a new episode of the A Home For Every Woman Survivor podcast, shining a light on the day-to-day operations of a domestic abuse refuge.
In Episode 4 – Part 1: Inside a Refuge: Supporting Survivors Day by Day, CEO Caroline Phansi is joined by Tameena Zafar, Support Manager at Contento Social Homes. Together, they provide an authentic and compassionate look at what really happens inside a refuge — and how dedicated teams help survivors of domestic abuse rebuild their lives.
A Rare Inside Look at Refuge Life
Domestic abuse refuges are often talked about, but rarely understood. This episode offers an inside perspective on:
- What daily life looks like for survivors and their children
- The emotional and practical support staff provide every single day
- The challenges of moving from crisis to stability
- How safe housing creates the foundation for independence and dignity
Caroline and Tameena share real experiences from the frontline, highlighting the strength of survivors and the compassion of those working alongside them.
Why This Episode Matters
Domestic abuse doesn’t end when a woman leaves her abuser. Survivors and their children need safety, stability, and structured support to begin healing. Refuges are a lifeline — offering not just shelter, but the tools and encouragement needed for survivors to move from being victims to becoming independent.
By listening to this podcast, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the vital role refuges play, and why campaigns like A Home For Every Woman Survivor are critical in the UK today.
