When Home Hurts

Documentary about those women struggling to find safety after violence at the hands of a partner.

It happens behind front doors in every village, town and city in Northern Ireland. Police respond to a domestic incident every 18 minutes and yet critics say the justice system doesn't take it seriously. It means pain, upheaval, and often lasting fear for the victims. In this revealing documentary, the BBC hears directly from women struggling to find safety and gets access to women's refuges to find out what life is like after violence at the hands of a partner.
