Each year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18, at a cost to their health, education, safety and opportunity to live a good and healthy life. Girls should be girls, not brides. Forced marriages must end ❌🚫 #PreventGBV #EndVAW

Recognising coercive control can be challenging as it often masquerades as care. It's important to know the difference and trust your instincts. If you feel like you're walking on eggshells or feel like you're constantly being monitored, it may be a sign of coercive control.

Coercive control can leave you feeling trapped, isolated and alone. It's a form of emotional abuse that can leave deep scars on your mind and heart. #coercivecontrol #Awareness

Breaking the silence around coercive control & domestic abuse is important because it can help survivors get the support they need to heal & break free from abusive relationships. By speaking out, we can help to hold abusers accountable for their actions.

Red is the colour All around the world red is the colour of so many things that we love. But there is one red that is still a source of exclusion, stigma and shame. That red is menstruation. 28 May is Menstrual Hygiene Day, the global day of action to create a world where no

That is it. That is the tweet and it's an important one. Domestic abuse is more than a bruise. It's about power and control, not physical violence alone.

How do we ensure that school environments are safer and more inclusive for girls? βœ… Ensure a zero-tolerance policy for bullying and sexual harassment. βœ… Implement a non-discriminatory school curriculum. βœ… Provide water, sanitation and hygiene facilities for students

By controlling their partner's movements, a perpetrator can create a sense of fear and dependency, that makes it difficult for the victim to leave the relationship. Domestic abuse is more than a bruise. #MTAB #coercivecontrol #DomesticAbuse

It's important to keep raising awareness of domestic abuse and to keep having this conversation. Domestic abuse should not be a taboo subject, it's a crime that is happening to people right now. #coercivecontrol #DomesticAbuse

Warning signs of abusive relationships. Blaming you, controlling you, name calling, physical abuse, jealousy, isolation, control what you wear, who you meet are just some of the red flags 🚩 to watch out for. #coercivecontrol

#CoerciveControl isn't solely #emotionalabuse, it's a culmination of tactics thoughtfully used by an abuser to gain total control of you. To confuse you, #gaslight you and to stop you questioning their abusive behaviours. #DomesticAbuse

YES! Good news: SA government commits to criminalising coercive control. Coercive control correlates significantly with femicide, familicide and suicide. I want to see it criminalized everywhere #CoerciveControl #LawReform abc.net.au/news/2023-07-0…

Safely escaping an abusive relationship is never as simple as walking out the door. Many complex emotional, physical & financial barriers can stand in the way. Women are never to blame for staying. #domesticabuse #stopaskingwomenwhytheydidntleave #pivottotheperpetrator

The aim of the perpetrator is to make you doubt yourself, isolate you, leave you dependent on them, feel worthless, worry about consequences. Each day your thought will always be about them. Your own thought will be contaminated with fear. #DomesticAbuse
