Twee Duitse journalisten stuitten jaren geleden, ver voor de zaak van Gisèle Pelicot, al via de pornosite Motherless op een groot, internationaal netwerk van gebruikers die vrouwen drogeren en seksueel misbruiken. Maar met hun meldingen daarover aan de Duitse politie werd lange tijd niets gedaan. In de podcast vertellen ze hun verhaal. Hoe kan het dat er niet eerder is ingegrepen? En dat Motherless nog steeds online is? NOS-collega en Duitsland-kenner Ulrike Nagel legde voor podcast De Dag contact met Isabel Ströh en Isabell Beer van de NDR. Zij doen Zij doen voor het programma STRG_F* al jaren onderzoek (https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/strg_f/das-vergewaltiger-netzwerk-auf-telegram-oder-strg_f/funk/Y3JpZDovL2Z1bmsubmV0LzExMzg0L3ZpZGVvLzIwMjY4NTYvc2VuZHVuZw)naar een internationaal netwerk van Telegram-groepen en pornosites, waarop beelden van gedrogeerde en misbruikte vrouwen worden gedeeld. Ze vertellen hoe ze toegang kregen tot deze groepen, waar ze op stuitten en hoe hun meldingen bij politie en justitie niet serieus werden genomen. Pas nadat de zaak van Gisèle Pelicot in de publiciteit kwam, veranderde de houding van de autoriteiten. Maar ondertussen zagen ze in de Telegram-kanalen iets anders: daar werd het juist drukker.

In this special episode, host Nicole Weston flips the mic and is interviewed by success coach Laura May Culver, sharing her raw and unfiltered journey as a mothering motherless daughter. Nicole unpacks the complexities of her relationship with her mom, Lisa—a vibrant and nurturing woman who struggled with unresolved trauma and alcohol—who died suddenly five years ago when Nicole was 34.he episode delves into:The Emotional Impact of Loss: Nicole describes the physical shock of her mother's death and the subsequent two-year period defined by intense anger, rage, and shame, particularly over the belief that she failed a "soul contract" to save her mom's life.The Path to Integration: She details the profound shift and healing that occurred about four years in, achieved through mind-body healing and integrating her identity from before her mom died and the woman she is now.The Power of Community and Purpose: Nicole discusses how the podcast and social media community have been crucial medicine for feeling grounded and validated. Her work is now focused on helping others move stuck grief through the body, using her lived experience to cultivate hope and confidence in women navigating this journey.Breaking Cycles: The ultimate goal of her personal work is to ensure her own children do not have to experience the level of emotional parentification or unavailability she did, embodying the "identity transformation" required to hold both sadness and love simultaneously.Nicole concludes with a message of thankfulness, forgiveness, and unconditional love for her mother, emphasizing that asking for help is one of the strongest things a person can do.Connect with Nicole:
In this powerful episode of Can't Call Your Mom, Nicole sits down with Kristen to explore the complex layers of Mother's Day grief and the transformative journey of the motherless mother. Kristen shares her deeply personal experience of repressing mother loss for seven years, wearing "armor" to stay strong, until an existential crisis on her 40th birthday cracked her wide open.Kristen's breakthrough came through the power of writing. By leaning into curiosity, she realized that by numbing her grief, she had also blocked her capacity for joy. Through her debut memoir, Magenta Me, she moved through layers of subconscious programming and inner child work to find radical forgiveness and a new spiritual, co-creative relationship with her mother.As Kristen beautifully dedicates in her book:"For my mom. When I asked the light, it told me to write our beautiful love story. In the end, I found the light was you."Feeling to Heal: Understanding that you must feel the pain of loss to truly experience the heights of joy.The Spiritual Connection: Shifting from a physical absence to a spiritual presence where conversations with Mom continue through intuition and creativity.Breaking Generational Cycles: How healing our own wounds allows us to mother our children with more presence and emotional intelligence.Kristen Brandao hit forty and flipped the script on her life. She went from a highly anxious, emotionally burned-out, over-extended healthcare practitioner, wife and mother of two to owning her story, stepping into her creative power and re-writing the narrative in her midlife memoir Magenta Me. She credits her seven-year suppression of grief after the loss of her mother to the breakdown through which she discovered the portal back to curiosity, creativity and connection to self. She endeavours to share her story vulnerably with the world to inspire others to integrate their grief. Kristen's Book: Magenta Me launches on June 25th.

Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken: https://bit.ly/buitenhof-24-mei-26 Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Tom Berendsen was deze week in Zweden op een NAVO-bijeenkomst. Met zijn 31 collega-ministers sprak hij over hoe het verder moet met de alliantie, nu het belangrijkste lid Amerika herhaaldelijk stelt de NAVO te willen verlaten. Is de breuk met de Verenigde Staten nog te lijmen en hoe dan? Nobelprijswinnaar Paul Krugman is met tientallen nieuwsbrieven per week, podcasts en interviews nog altijd één van de meest productieve economen van deze tijd. Ook is hij een van de belangrijkste criticasters van president Donald Trump. Hoe kijkt hij tegen de situatie in de Verenigde Staten aan en hoe ernstig is de groeiende kloof tussen arm en rijk. Hubert Bruls is burgemeester van Nijmegen. Hij is opgeroepen als getuige bij de parlemntaire enquete over Corona die volgende week van start gaat. Zijn er overeenkomsten tussen de protesten van toen en de rellen van nu? Deze week werd bekend dat de extreme pornosite Motherless opnieuw in de lucht is, een paar dagen nadat het Openbaar Ministerie de site offline had gehaald. De ophef is groot, de site staat namelijk bekend om de grote hoeveelheid ‘drogeerporno': video's waarin bewusteloze vrouwen verkracht worden. Normaliseert zo'n site dit gedrag? En wat kunnen we hiertegen doen? We gaan het erover hebben met Michelle Rasch, sociaal wetenschapper, gespecialiseerd in het gedrag van plegers van online misbruik.

Show Notes:Mother's Day has passed — but the grief doesn't get a calendar. Three days after Mother's Day, host Nicole is sitting with you in the tender space that comes after the celebration fades, holding space for the complex, layered emotions of being a mom who is also missing her own.In this short but powerful episode, Nicole speaks directly to the motherless mothers who are still carrying it — the ache, the sorrow, the bittersweet joy of being celebrated while grieving the one who celebrated you.In this episode, Nicole covers:Why Mother's Day can be exhausting and triggering for motherless mothers — and how to protect your energy in the weeks leading up to itThe body's memory of grief and why trauma brings us right back, even years laterHow Nicole began co-creating a spiritual relationship with her late mom — and why this has been her most profound healing experience yetSimple rituals to keep your connection with mom alive (candles, letters, sharing memories)The beautiful moment her daughter asked, "Why didn't nanny just bring her phone when she died?" — and how that sparked the heart of the Can't Call Your Mom communityWhy expression is one of the highest forms of healingReading names from the community — 2,500+ women who shared their mom's name this Mother's Day weekendConnect with Nicole:
On this week's episode of the Tuesday People podcast with host Mitch Albom, we ask a difficult question for so many: How do people who are motherless celebrate Mother's Day? Mitch reflects on the idea that even when our mothers are no longer physically with us, they remain woven into who we are. The way we love our children, show kindness to friends, face challenges, or view the world often carries their fingerprints. Listeners are encouraged to make a list of the qualities, traditions, lessons, and pieces of themselves that came from their mothers, and to use that list every year, not only to remember their mothers who have passed, but to celebrate the women who still live on within us every single day.

Mother's Day is a holiday not easily ignored. Though it is not the most popular holiday, it is one of the most commercially successful, with the ubiquitous marketing of flowers, cards, restaurants and jewelry. But for the millions of Americans who are motherless, it's a sharp reminder of their loss. What is the meaning of Mother's Day for those who no longer have mothers? And how can they honor memories of their mothers as they manage their grief?RSVP to our FREE event at Molly's Bookstore in Allston with author Tara Menon! https://bit.ly/utrtaramenon
A special Mother's Day message from Davana Boushele!
Note from Gregory Berg: One of my favorite television programs is CBS Sunday Morning. Today, for Mother's Day, they ran a moving story about a series of retreats across the country for women who have lost their mothers and are trying to cope with the loss. I immediately recognized the name of the woman responsible for organizing the retreats- Hope Edelman - because she had been a guest on my Morning Show many years ago (2007) - talking about her book "Motherless Mothers: How Losing a Mother Shapes the Parent You Become." The book was a followup to her 1994 best-selling book "Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss." I am replaying this interview today in honor of Mother's Day and because I am mindful of all of the people for whom this day includes sorrow and some sense of loss.

De Amerikaanse tv-zender CNN ontdekte sites vol met misbruikporno, zoals filmpjes van mannen die seks hebben met slapende of gedrogeerde vrouwen. Een platform als Motherless werd afgelopen maand zelfs wel 84 miljoen keer bekeken. Hoe raken gebruikers daar verzeild? Is hier sprake van een glijdende schaal? Daarover gaat Hans van der Steeg in gesprek met: * Wineke Smid, klinisch psycholoog * Dave Maasland, techexpert * Evert van der Woude, relatiedeskundige

It starts with a message in a group chat: a man asking for advice on exactly how much sedative to slip into his wife’s tea tonight so he can sexually assault her while she's unconscious. Following the horrific 2024 trial of Dominique Pelicot in France, a new investigation has revealed that this wasn't an isolated case, but a thriving global ecosystem. From 'sleep' content on major porn sites to private forums where men livestream their drugged partners for a fee, the scale of this internet-enabled abuse is staggering. We’re joined by CNN Paris Bureau Chief Saskya Vandoorne, who infiltrated these secret 'brotherhoods' to expose how these men operate under the cover of anonymity and why platforms are still failing to stop them.

Julie shares her journey of discovering that both she and her son are autistic, discussing the challenges and the learning curve involved with raising an autistic child in a time when information and resources were limited.

Ez az adás egy kicsit rendhagyó lesz – több szempontból is – de abból mindenképp, hogy egy olyan témáról fogunk beszélgetni, amiről egyébként tök jó lenne, ha egyáltalán nem kéne. Ugyanakkor nőként nem gondoljuk, hogy el lehet mellette menni. A nők elleni erőszakról, bántalmazásról és zaklatásról lesz szó, a politikai ignoranciáról, a társadalom elfordulásáról és az áldozathibáztatásról. Példákon keresztül fogjuk végigvenni, hogy mi a baj azzal a rendszerrel, amiben élünk, és rámutatunk arra, is, hogy tulajdonképpen szinte semmi nem javult vagy változott az elmúlt években, évtizedekben. A nőszervezetek küzdenek, de szinte teljesen tehetetlenek, a kormány szerint pedig az élet bántja a nőket, nem a férfiak. Bővebben: 00:00:00 - 50. Tyúkól adás! 00:01:30 - Nem vidám téma: a nők ellen elkövetett erőszakos bűncselekmények és bántalmazások. 00:02:00 - Számok, amik önmagukban is sokkolók. 00:04:00 - Az EU-ban 3-ból egy nő szenved el fizikai vagy szexuális erőszakot. És más számok. 00:08:30 - Kérdések, amiket a téma kapcsán rendszeresen megkapunk. Miért gondoljuk, hogy rendszerszintű a probléma? És mi a helyzet a statisztikákkal? 00:13:30 - Nyolc nőből egy jelenti be, hogy erőszak áldozata lett: ez jól mutatja a látencia mértékét. 00:15:00 - A nők esetében jellemzőbb, hogy az elhúzódó erőszakra reagálnak végletesen. 00:20:24 - Más a szándék: hatalom vagy menekülés. 00:23:00 - Maga a gondolkodási struktúránk olyan, ami elfogadja a társadalmi hierarchiát. 00:25:36 - Mit csinál egy nő, ha elmegy szülni? Hát kiesik a munkából. 00:28:50 - A nő méhében van a családi megélhetés kulcsa? 00:36:34 - Kinek a feladata a gondoskodás? 00:39:48 - Tudjuk egyáltalán, hogy kitől kérjünk segítséget például a gyereknevelésben? Miben partner az állam? 00:42:00 - Nagyra nyitott zárójel a szülésről (szorongások, Facebook-csoportok, felkészítők, tervek, ajánlások… és a valóság). 00:48:30 - Ijesztő, hogy általános hozzáállássá vált a „megérdemelte“. 00:55:48 - Digitális Polgári Kör bántalmazott nőknek: mi ez? És mire való? 00:58:10 - Mit adhat egy valódi női közösség? 01:02:20 - Ha egy nő feljelentést tesz, azzal nem nyugodhat meg: gyakorlatilag egy új frontot nyit. 01:05:18 - Úgyse hisznek neki - és ez meghatározó alapélménye a nőknek, akik a hatóságokhoz fordulnak. 01:11:45 - Renner Erika zaklatója, és ami mögötte van. 01:17:35 - Hogy élhetnek az áldozatok annak tudatában, hogy a zaklatójuk bármikor újra rájuk szabadulhat? 01:23:12 - Miért a nőnek kell kiszakadnia? Megvédi őt bárki? Kap támogatást és segítséget? 01:24:04 - És akkor a gyerekekről még nem is beszéltünk. Tudjuk, hogy ez a téma sokak számára nagyon megterhelő lehet. Ha bántalmazás (akár szóbeli, lelki, fizikai, szexuális vagy gazdasági erőszak) áldozata vagy, jogod van a segítségre. Az Országos Kríziskezelő és Információs Telefonszolgálat a nap 24 órájában, Magyarországról ingyenesen elérhető a 06 80 205 520-as telefonszámon. NANE Segélyvonal bántalmazott nőknek: 06 80 505 101; a PATENT Egyesület jogsegély-szolgálata: 06 80 808 081. Olvasnivalók: 2023-ban 10 percenként egy nő lett gyilkosság áldozata, a gyilkosságok 60 százalékát partnerük vagy valamelyik családtagjuk követte el. A Nők a Nőkért Együtt az Erőszak Ellen Egyesület (NANE) holnapján olvasható statisztika szerint a 18-74 év közötti magyar nők 54,6 százaléka ellen követett el valaha akár korábbi, akár jelenlegi partnere fizikai erőszakot Emellett a nők mintegy harmadát éri fizikai és/vagy szexuális erőszak az élete során. A férfiak gyakrabban esnek gyilkosság áldozatául, ezekben az esetekben viszont az elkövető csak kis százalékban a partnerük. A gyilkosságok kb. 80 százalékában férfi az áldozat egyébként. Ezekre a statisztikákra szerintem azért van szükség, hogy lássuk, egyrészt világszintű problémáról van szó, másrészt nem elég látszatintézkedéseket hozni. Cikkek, amiket ajánlunk: Kéz kezet mos ebben a beteg rendszerben: így hagyja cserben az állam a bántalmazott nőket és gyerekeket Gyertyák, virágok, és végtelen fájdalom: a lakástűzben meghalt japán nő tragédiája elrettentő emlékeztetője a rendszer inkompetenciájának Hiába kérnek a nők megelőző távoltartást, a bíróságok csak az esetek felében adják meg A tamási gyilkosság is azt mutatja, hogy a rendszer ráengedi az elkövetőket az áldozatokra Amikor az ügyészt fenyegette meg, beszámítható volt, amikor bárki mást, paranoid skizofrén Vitályos Eszter úgy alakít a bántalmazott nőknek Digitális Polgári Kört, hogy szerinte őket nem férfiak bántották, hanem az élet Hallgatnivalók: Mivel kiemelten fontosnak tartjuk, hogy erről a témáról minél több szó essen, a Tyúkólban is szenteltünk már több adást a nők elleni erőszak különböző formáinak. Tyúkól#36 - Rendszerszintű erőszak vagy egyedi esetek tömkelege? Tyúkól#28: A Pelicot-ügyről Tyúkól#24: A Motherless-ügy megint megmutatta, mennyire egyedül vagyunk hagyva Tyúkól#19: A nők bulizni mennek, és reméljük, biztonságban haza is érnek Tyúkól#4: A jogvédőknek nagyon sok túlórát okoz, hogy a pornóból próbáljuk megtanulni a szexet Podcastunk kéthetente jelentkezik új adással, meghallgatható a 444 Spotify- és Apple-csatornáján is.

Send us a textSometimes, when you watch a movie or read someone's story, there are parts of it you overlook. This episode features the experience of Sarah Lynn Wells, Podcast Administrator and blog writer, as she watches the movie “Wicked” with fresh eyes. She noticed, for the first time, that the main character, Elphaba, is also a motherless daughter. While not the focus of the story, it does shed some light on her and helps the author think about some things she's wrestled with as well.The Motherless Daughters Ministry offers a variety of resources to support the mother loss journey.

Dear wonderful readers,Today, we have the ultimate treat for you all! This week, two shameless sex writers on Substack sat down to share our personal experiences of what it's really like to publish the details of our intimate lives on the internet.Share the steam with a spicy-minded friend

Stavros from the Atlas Moth is back for his 4th appearance on Car Con Carne - it's been over four years, so we were overdue for a chat. The first thing you may notice in this episode is how easy the conversation is between the two of us. Besides Stavros being a natural and funny conversationalist, we have a lot in common: music, comics, horror, vinyl collecting. Lots of common ground there. We talk about why the Atlas Moth has been dead silent for the past five years, and Stavros reveals the plans for an upcoming covers EP. You won't believe the artists they're covering! We also talk about Stavros's new band, Motherless, set to release an album in September. The entire conversation took place at the unlucky-looking Talisman Center in Glenview, specifically outside the Works Grill, home of some of the area's best gyros (no lie). This chat's a little longer than usual, but I swear it's a fun one.

Nikki delves into the inspiration behind this novel, the challenges of writing a second book, and how the grief of losing her brother has shaped her writing.

Catherine de Jocas, from Ontario, CanadaCheck out the Why We Wrote This podcast from the Christian Science Monitor at csmonitor.com/whywewrotethis.
This is a classic session, from the first season of Where Should We Begin? A couple with two small children are at physical and emotional odds in their relationship. One has given herself over entirely to the children, while the other struggles to find her place within the family dynamic. She yearns for the physical closeness she once had with her wife, while the other is, as she puts it, “all touched out.” Esther encourages them to see their different roles as mutually beneficial and stresses the importance of “feeding the relationship” away from the children.
