Coercive Control – A Story That’s Not Ours
The WA Government has launched an advertising campaign ‘Coercive Control – A Story That’s Not Ours’ to increase awareness within Aboriginal communities that coercive control is a form of family and domestic violence.
It has been created with Aboriginal people, for Aboriginal people, using cultural storytelling practices at the heart.
The campaign highlights examples of coercive control and how it makes a victim/survivor feel. Voiced by female Aboriginal Elders in four languages it reinforces the message that coercive control is not part of our culture.
