Earlier today, the Anishinabek Police Service launched a public awareness campaign to highlight the actions and behaviours used by abusers to harm and control survivors.
𝐂𝐨𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 involves repeated acts of humiliation, intimidation, isolation, exploitation, manipulation to control or dominate you by making you feel afraid, ashamed, anxious, unsure or upset. It is a pattern of behaviour aimed at maintaining power over an intimate partner and is frequently accompanied by acts of physical or sexual coercion.
And it isn’t an accident. Every time a person uses abusive behaviours, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐨.
When it comes to coercive control, the signs can be hard to spot because it often starts slowly or builds up over time. Please watch our social media accounts this week to learn more about ‘red flag’ behaviours you may notice.
