How do we create meaningful change around the issue of coercive control? (FULL SEGMENT) | The Drum

If this conversation has raised any issues for you and you need information or support, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or you can call 1800 RESPECT.
The Drum has been discussing what constitutes domestic violence and how that definition includes far more than just physical abuse.
Now think about things like placing limits on a partners spending, dictating what they wear or secretly reading their text messages, all of these actions could amount to what's known as "coercive control".
Laws in Scotland criminalising coercive control came into force in 2018, and domestic violence experts have described them as "gold standard".
Now, a New South Wales inquiry is considering laws and hearing evidence from those who have experienced coercive control directly.
Host: Julia Baird
Panel: Former NSW Liberal Leader Kerry Chikarovski, Associate Lecturer at the Department of Security Studies and Criminology at Macquarie University Vincent Hurley, Executive director at Change.org Australia Sally Rugg, and Founder of Modest Fashion Australia and Chair of Roots TV Aisha Novakovic.
