Compelling string playing by virtuoso Tata Mirando cut through the soul: ‘He couldn’t read a note!’

She’s mine

No one can deny the figures anymore: every eight to ten days a woman is killed by her husband, boyfriend or ex-partner. Femicide is considerably more common in the Netherlands than in the countries around us and yet hardly anything seems to have changed. Why do things so often go wrong behind the front door here? In the eight-part podcast ‘She is mine’ Saskia Belleman investigates how things can be improved. Because why can’t some men accept that a woman ends the relationship? Why does help often come when it is too late? And what lessons can we learn from abroad? In conversations with victims, surviving relatives, perpetrators, the police, the Public Prosecution Service, criminal lawyers and scientists, the court reporter from De Telegraaf looks for answers.
