Today we are introducing you to another disobedient women, Laura Richards. Laura has agreed to us sharing an episode of her podcast Crime Analyst.

Please also consider acting to support her campaign to compile a national register for serial stalking and domestic domestic violence perpetrators. Contact your MP to demand their support for it and sign the petition calling for it here. https://www.change.org/p/boris-johnson-prime-minister-stop-serial-perpetrators-and-stalkers-abusing-multiple-women

We are excited to have Julie Bindel as our guest today. Julie is a founding member of the organisation Justice for Women and a leading voice in the fight for law reform to end male violence against women and girls - in all its guises!
