Coercive control seeks to disempower victims of domestic abuse on every level. Leaving the family home – and disentangling feelings of care – is a complex process.
A woman was killed every three days throughout the decade. Domestic abuse costs £66bn a year in England and Wales. Since 2016, recorded domestic abuse-related crimes have increased by 63%. We have yet to learn the full impact of the pandemic. Last week, the government promised an extra £19m to tackle violence against women and girls. That’s risible. Women’s Aid has calculated that £393m is required to provide sustainable services.
However, as tomorrow is International Women’s Day, first there are achievements to applaud, the results of years of campaigning by feminists and the women’s sector. (Of course, men are also victims but that is not this campaign’s focus.)
