Thank you so much for listening.

Coorsive control is a strategic form of interpersonal violence, which perpetuates ongoing oppression

and terrorism, used to instill fear and control.

While anyone can experience coercive control, it's often grounded in gender-based privilege.

In 60 and 80% of women seeking assistance for abuse have experienced coercive control.

In order to subdue their targets, abusers use coercive control tactics, such as limiting

access to money, monitoring all communication, isolation, gaslighting, emotional abuse, reinforcing

traditional gender roles, parental alienation, controlling body autonomy, accusations of

infidelity, sexual coercion and abuse, and threatening children, pets or loved ones.

While this form of abuse is illegal in some countries, including the United Kingdom since

2015, it's not considered illegal in the United States unless another crime has been committed.
