Summary: Three Indo-Canadian women were attacked, two killed, all by their husbands, over a two-week period in October, 2006. Supreeti Ghosh, Ashley Sandu and Sandip Rokra talk about what keeps women in their community silent. They share their thoughts and concerns with BC's Attorney General.
Teresa Goff expertly covers this sensitive topic by letting people speak for themselves. It is so refreshing to hear a piece about the diaspora India community that doesn't relate to the exotic or obvious entertainment bit of the "clash of two cultures" or the dancing Bollywood girls.
Choosing to end the piece with the subtle, but powerful comments of Wally Opal, really proves her ability as a news reporter that understands the power of radio to build community.
