Tender
Tender is a thoughtful podcast series about what happens when women leave abusive relationships. Each season follows one woman’s story as she slowly—but surely—gets to know herself again.
Chronicling the life of domestic violence awareness advocate, mother and victim-survivor Roia Atmar, season two invites you into the inner-workings of Roia’s ‘after’: from a solitary hospital bed, to the haunting stare of a room full of police recruits, to crowded Perth pubs, Tender captures the complex intricacies of what it means to live with abuse.
In this season, you’ll meet activists with lived experiences of domestic abuse, racial and religious discrimination and—most importantly—Roia Atmar, as she navigates her ‘after’. Being a survivor of domestic violence is a convoluted and extensive reality. Tender makes known the negligible and often misunderstood dimensions of surviving interpersonal abuse, the aspects often forgotten in the healing process.
Season two is created by Madison Griffiths, Beth Atkinson-Quinton, and Roia Atmar, with Shakira Hussein, Danae Gibson, and Jon Tjhia.
“[Tender: Roia Atmar] accomplishes the rare feat of giving voice to a community that many have no access to, in solidarity with those who do. It’s powerful and impactful storytelling that hooks the listener with one character’s story, and invites them to understand their experiences before, during and after a horrific and life-changing event.”
