BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Domestic Violence or Coercive Control

Would you let the contents of your handbag feature in an exhibition?

What do you keep in your handbag? The 'boomerang kids' and the parents whose grown-up kids keep moving back home. And should domestic violence be renamed 'coercive control'?

What do you keep in your handbag? The German artist who''ll pay you 500 euros if you let him feature your bag in his exhibition in London. A government consultation asks whether the term domestic violence should be widened to include the phrase "coercive control". How proposed changes to pensions will affect more than 500,000 women across the UK. And following our interview with a mother labelled a significant risk of harm to her son following a visit to her GP for mild depression, we hear from listeners and a GP about their concerns it will put off some women from coming forward for treatment. 

Presenter Jenni Murray.
Producer Luke Mulhall.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
