Episode 2: Family Violence and Coercive and Controlling Behaviour Continued

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: A continuation from the first episode, Vicky and Stephanie talk about myths about family violence and how a coercive and controlling behaviour lens can help to provide an understanding of harmful behavior. Women and gender-diverse individuals are overwhelmingly victims of IPV and this is why we are using gendered language in our podcast.  See Rise's report Why can’t everyone just get along?
