The second season of FW’s groundbreaking podcast, There’s No Place Like Home, has been awarded a Bronze Award for Best Social Justice Podcast at the New York Festival Radio Awards, an international competition honouring creative innovation and excellence in audio content worldwide.

In 2023, There’s No Place Like Home returned with an eight-part series that focused on the signs and red flags for non-physical abuse, from love bombing and gaslighting to isolation and financial control. 

FW’s Founder and Managing Director Helen McCabe says conversations around women’s safety have only become more prominent since production began two years ago. 

“The right to be safe from abuse is at the forefront of conversations not just here in Australia but globally. This award acknowledges the importance of listening to victim-survivors on the insidious impact of non-physical forms of violence.” 

Studies from Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety show the majority of victim-survivors will reach out to their family and friends first. As a result, this season we teamed experts, policymakers and victim-survivors with the latest data to help listeners recognise relationship red flags, and learn how to seek support – either for themselves or loved ones. 

To create There’s No Place Like Home, Future Women has collaborated with Commonwealth Bank, which is supporting long-term financial independence for victim-survivors of financial abuse through CommBank Next Chapter.
