Celebrating Women's History: Their Courage in the Domestic Violence Movement

"Throughout history, women have been at the forefront of various social movements, advocating for change, justice, and equality. One of many movements where women have played a pivotal role is the fight against domestic violence. From grassroots activists to influential leaders, women have spearheaded efforts to raise awareness, provide support, and enact legislative changes to combat this prevalent and pervasive issue. This article explores the history of domestic violence and highlights several courageous women who've challenged the status quo and carved pathways to end domestic violence."

I am an anti-domestic abuse advocate – but I failed to recognise it happening to me and my family

"It would be years before I was able to see my relationship for what it was, or rather, what it had become – a union based on control. Because despite my knowledge of domestic and family abuse, of coercive control, of the insidious strategies and tactics used by perpetrators, I had failed to recognise them in my own home."

Beyond bruises: Coercive control in intimate partner violence

"Unlike physical violence, which is often episodic and easily identifiable, coercive control operates in more subtle and insidious ways, making it difficult for victims to recognize and substantiate. Consequently, seeking help often becomes an uphill battle, forcing victims to shoulder the burden of proving their suffering."

Research helps survivors of intimate partner violence get support they need

Backed by federal funding, public health researcher Michele Decker works to understand the scope and impact of gender-based violence and to determine how to prevent it

"The drastic proposed changes to federal research funding, including cuts to indirect costs, put all of this work in jeopardy. It could roll back critical advances and leave women, in the United States and around the world, in danger."
