  • Child Sexual Abuse Never Leaves You: Adult Survivors Speak Up

    Child Sexual Abuse Never Leaves You: Adult Survivors Speak Up
    Feb 14 2020
    There are often blank spaces in many child sexual abuse survivors’ memories – who bury the abuse and often return to confront it only as adults. They return, either with determination to find some semblance of justice, or with the hope that speaking about their stories will help someone today, to speak about theirs. In this episode of Unmute, we speak to a few adult survivors of CSA to find out what their stories are and how their lives are still impacted and forever changed by the sexual abuse they faced as children. Host: Urmi Bhattacheryya Producer: Shorbori Purkayastha Editor: Shelly Walia

    Surviving Alcoholism: Who Pays the Price For Alcohol Addiction?
    Sep 27 2019
    “My mother was hospitalised. I was supposed to stay in the hospital and look after her. But the moment I found time, I went to the wine shop and got myself a bottle. Then I’d come back, inebriated, and sleep in a blackout,” says 53-year-old Pulin. He's a former alcoholic who has been sober for over 6 years now. Alcohol is responsible for killing over 2.5 lakh Indians every year, as per a 2018 report by the WHO. In this podcast, we spoke to a 53-year-old former alcoholic who has been sober for over six years now, a 22-year-old woman who was hospitalised because of alcohol-related health complications, a man who lost his uncle to alcoholism, and another whose family was torn apart because of his father’s alcohol addiction. And together, we try to answer the question: What does alcoholism take from people? Host: Vishnu Gopinath Producer: Vishnu Gopinath Editor: Vishnu Gopinath

It is an exceptionally common form of manipulation and yet it goes unnoticed by those who face it.
