But it should be. You have the power to help
make Coercive Control illegal in Australia.It’s not a crime for him
to tell her she’s useless.
To sign the petition, visit
coercivecontrol.com.auproudly supported bycriminaliseThis is not the man she fell in love
with. He makes life hell for her. She
tries not to upset him and does what
he wants, just because it’s easier.
She’s scared he’ll take it out on the
kids or the dog or her if she makes
him angry. He tracks her movements
and over time he’s cut her off from her
friends and family. He questions her
every move. No matter which way you
look at it, he’s in control which meansthere’s no safe way for her to leave
the relationship. Coercive Control is a
common form of domestic abuse but
there is currently no law against it.
If we change the law, we can change
the lives of thousands of Australian
women who are terrifi ed and at risk in
their own homes – from someone they
love. If you or someone you know is
aff ected by abuse, call 1800 RESPECT
on 1800 737 732.
