In this episode, Hera Hussain interviews Lucy Ruthnum of Absolutely Lucy, a travel blogger and "heartfelt adventurer". Earlier this year, Lucy wrote a blog for us talking about her experience of emotional abuse and coercive control: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx27e7khjUM/
We discuss on some of the tips we've gathered at Chayn on identifying and dealing with coercive control.

Gupshup by Chayn
Hosted by Chayn, we bring gritty and heartfelt conversations to you about how women are tired of being marginalised, and how they are taking up the tools of the world to dismantle patriarchy (did anyone catch that bell hooks reference?). We'll discuss the latest projects Chayn does on bringing survivor-led design and intersectional analysis to create platforms, spaces and guides to help women and non-binary people experiencing violence. We'll also interview people we admire, our volunteers and friends to discuss gender-based violence and what is being done about it.
Chayn (pronounced ch-en) is a global volunteer network addressing gender-based violence by creating intersectional survivor-led resources online. Started in 2013, we have since reached more than 300 000 people and 1.5 million views across the world. Most of our volunteers are survivors of abuse. Find out more on chayn.co!
Though most podcasts will be in English, there will be episodes in all the 8 languages we work in. Gupshup means chit chat in Urdu.
