Coercive control is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim.<\/p><p>This controlling behaviour is designed to make a person dependent by isolating them from support, exploiting them, depriving them of independence and regulating their everyday behaviour.<\/p><p>We\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/womens-aid-welcomes-coercive-control-law\/\">campaigned and succeeded<\/a>\u00a0in making coercive control a criminal offence.

But now we want to make sure that everyone understands what it is.<\/p><p>Coercive control creates invisible chains and a sense of fear that pervades all elements of a victim\u2019s life. It works to limit their human rights by depriving them of their liberty and reducing their ability for action. Experts like Evan Stark liken coercive control to being taken hostage. As he says: \u201cthe victim becomes captive in an unreal world created by the abuser, entrapped in a world of confusion, contradiction and fear.\u201d<\/p><p>Some common examples of coercive behaviour are:<\/p><ul><li>Isolating you from friends and family<\/li><li>Depriving you of basic needs, such as food<\/li><li>Monitoring your time<\/li><li>Monitoring you via online communication tools or spyware<\/li><li>Taking control over aspects of your everyday life, such as where you can go, who you can see, what you can wear and when you can sleep<\/li><li>Depriving you access to support services, such as medical services<\/li><li>Repeatedly putting you down, such as saying you\u2019re worthless<\/li><li>Humiliating, degrading or dehumanising you<\/li><li>Controlling your finances<\/li><li>Making threats or intimidating you<\/li><\/ul><p>You can read more in this article we wrote for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/women\/life\/coercive-control-how-can-you-tell-whether-your-partner-is-emotio\/\">The Telegraph<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2653\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2653\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Emotional abuse and the silent treatment<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2653\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2653\"><p>You might already be familiar with \u2019the silent treatment\u2019 \u2013 when someone ignores you or stops talking to you during a disagreement or argument in a relationship, but what if we were to tell you that this can be a form of abuse\u2026<\/p><p>Silent treatment, the cold shoulder, freezing someone out, whatever you call it, can be used as a form of control.

They leave us feeling helpless, insecure, broken. Recognising the red flags can be tricky, especially if we\u2019ve got so used to them.<\/p><p>These relationships can turn our social and emotional well-being upside down. Abusive partners will try to cut us off from our friends and family, leave us feeling totally alone and out of touch. They are essentially cutting us off from our support system, when it can already be hard to talk about our relationships, as we don\u2019t want our friends and family to dislike our partners.<\/p><p>Isolation in an abusive relationship isn\u2019t just about your partner outright forbidding you from seeing your friends and family. It can be much more subtle and sinister. Here are a few ways your partner might be isolating you without you even realising it.<\/p><p>They might get \u201cjealous\u201d of your friends and family and ask you to stop seeing them or to block or unfollow them to make themselves feel better. They might convince you that a friend or family member doesn\u2019t treat you well, or like you, and pressure you to cut ties with them. They might decide they no longer want to talk to your friend or family member because of some issue, even create a conflict, making it harder for you to see that person. They might refuse to come with you, not give you a lift, or make you feel guilty for seeing them by suggesting you\u2019re not supporting your partner if you do. Your partner might say you\u2019re free to go out and see your friends, but when you do, they turn up or spend the entire time messaging you. They might pick a fight with you when you get home &#8211; to the point that you might feel like it\u2019s easier to cut contact with your friends instead.<\/p><p>Your phone and social media are also an opportunity for an abuser, making you feel like you can\u2019t communicate with your friends or family freely or privately. They might control your phone usage by limiting the time you can spend on it, monitoring your messages and calls, or convincing you to share your social media passwords.<\/p><p>Isolation is intentional. Without your support system, you might find yourself relying more on your partner for support and validation.<\/p><p>Analysis conducted for Refuge and the University of Warwick showed that almost a quarter (24%) of a sample of 3,500 of Refuge\u2019s clients reported having felt suicidal, and 86% reported feeling depressed (Aitken and Munro, 2018).<\/p><p>Remember, your friends and family are there for you! Make sure you are reaching out for support when you need it.<\/p><p>You may also want to learn more in Deserve To Be Heard, a flagship campaign we launched in 2021, which aimed to raise awareness of the devastating impact of domestic abuse on the mental health of women and their children.<\/p><p>Alongside survivors, our federation members, parliamentary champions, and community campaigners, we have raised awareness of the devastating impact of domestic abuse on the mental health of women and children and worked to secure a more supportive policy environment and funding for essential mental health support.<\/p><p>We know that specialist services \u2013 particularly those led \u2018by and for\u2019 Black and minoritised women, d\/Deaf and disabled women and LBT+ women \u2013 are best placed to deliver the long-term healing needed to support women through the trauma of abuse. Throughout the campaign, we highlighted the importance of dedicated funding for these specialist women\u2019s services.<\/p><p>We are pleased to share some of our proudest campaign achievements with you.
