The helpline for jealous and violent men

A helpline in Colombia is aiming to reduce domestic violence by targeting the perpetrators rather than the victims.

This week we hear from Colombia, where a helpline with a difference recently opened. Its aim is to stop domestic violence, but instead of targeting victims, it targets the perpetrators.

The idea is to get men in particular, who are struggling with jealousy, anger and other strong emotions, to phone in and get help.
