Violence Against Women & #metoo - Emma Goulds

- Episode 16 -

 

In today’s episode we welcome Emma Goulds onto the podcast to discuss violence against women and the challenges created by a hyper sexualised culture such as our own. Along with that we also discuss the #metoo movement started by Tarana Burke, and the need for church leaders to engage in the subject.

 

Emma is one of the cofounders of Orchardsuk a charity that works in partnership with local churches to support women who have experienced different forms of sexual exploitation. Emma is also a leader at Beacon church London and a mum of 3 children.
