Uncovered: Who we are and why we're here
By Loni Cooper
It was the story we didn’t know how to tell. Day after day we’d ignore the callouts we heard over the police scanner. There were too many to count, anyway, and it wasn’t really anything for us to worry about.  After all, violence against women was a private matter, no-one else’s business - not even a journalist’s.
