In the 4th episode of "16 Days, 16 Voices" we hear from Nikita Ruthven, a GBV survivor and speaker. 

Nikita opens up about staying with her ex even as the relationship turned violent, holding on to the hope that he would change. Instead, things worsened, and one night on the drive home he put her safety at risk and attacked her. It became the moment she realised how dangerous the situation had become. Over the course of a weekend, Nikita found herself trapped in a situation that turned terrifying. Her abuse escalated into physical and sexual violence, and control, leaving her fearing for her life. This is her account of how quickly things can spiral, and why getting out is never as simple as people think.
