This week on Yours, Mine & Femme we’re taking a bit of a change of pace, and discussing a difficult but important issue, technology facilitate abuse. A new report has come out from Monash University which has described this form of abuse as ‘significant’ and gendered. With confidence levels in police and legal responses remaining low – what needs to change to combat this harmful behavior. Yours, Mine & Femme Host Bethany Tracey spoke to the lead author of the report Dr. Asher Flynn to find out.
