Als Je Eens Wist: Partnergeweld

After the gripping and controversial first chapter about child abuse, Hilde Van Mieghem and her team take a closer look at partner violence in this second series. Testimonies of victims, perpetrators and experts show that this issue is possibly even more taboo and complex than child abuse.

Als Je Eens Wist: Partnergeweld

Each episode offers a closer look on testimonials and a professional framework with experts in the matter. Quite a number of prejudices are debunked: men, almost as often as women, are victims of abuse as well and it happens in all segments of our society. Even hostile divorces are a subject tackled in an episode, making painfully clear that children are collateral damage more often than not in abusive families. 

Interviewed experts are Dr. Marc Van Steenkiste (psychiatrist), Prof. Dr. Ines Keygnaert (expert sexual violence), Marijke Weewauters (expert gender violence), Pascale Franck (Family Justice Center), Erin Pizzey (founder of safe houses), Prof. Dr. Frédéric Declercq (offender pathologist), Herman Dams (youth judge), Kim Huysmans (psyochologist), Gerda Lindekens (contact recovery specialist)

This production came into being with the support of Flanders Tax Shelter.

Testimonials

Ik heb de eerste aflevering gezien en heb tranen met tuiten geweend. Vanaf minuut één kruipen de getuigenissen van Evelyne, Linda en Dirk onder je huid.

Journalist

De getuigen zijn onze helden. Hun kwetsbare verhalen raken en onthutsen ons maar dragen vooral bij aan het bespreekbaar maken. En daarom: meer van dit soort openheid alsjeblieft.

De keuze voor net die drie getuigen zorgde ervoor dat telkens een delicaat facet van de complexe problematiek wat zonlicht ving.
