Josephine Jennings: The Courage to Speak
In April 1997, Josephine Jennings gave evidence against a man she had accused of rape. It was the last confirmed time she was ever seen. In this episode of Vanished West, we explore the life of the proud Wangkai and Wongi woman from Western Australia's Goldfields, the courage it took to speak, and the unanswered questions surrounding her disappearance nearly three decades later. ⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses sexual assault, violence against women, and distressing themes.
