The NSW Government has launched an eye-opening ad campaign in the lead-up to new domestic violence laws.
Key points
- 97% of intimate partner homicides in NSW between 2000 and 2018 were preceded by the perpetrator using coercive control towards the victim.
- Coercive control ads, which begin rolling out today, use the tagline, “It’s not love, it’s coercive control. Know the signs of abuse.”
- $925 million “Leaving Violence” package to support women to escape an abusive partner announced today.
