Coercive control is abuse, characterised by a pattern of controlling and manipulative behaviours. So how can our justice and legal responses most effectively save lives and minimise harm to those affected by it?

This community forum, hosted by Embolden SA, seeks to explore some of the critical issues relating to coercive control and the law in South Australia, with a panel discussion and Q & A session with:

Dr Kate Fitz-Gibbon, Director of the Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre

Women's Legal Services SA

Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement (Help A Sista Out)

Voices for Change SA
