This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Petition Raise awareness of the devastating effects of Coercive Behaviour.

Victims of Coercive Behaviour are mentally, emotionally and financially abused. The Government must fund a campaign to raise awareness of the effects of coercive behaviour. Police, health care workers, lawyers and others who may meet victims of coercive behaviour also need training.

More details

I reported my abuser to the police, my doctor, a lawyer and nothing was done. More awareness and training is needed to protect men and women and children. They are usually too scared to make a report to the police for fear of being ridiculed. This is a major crime with devastating effects and victims need to be taken seriously. I was totally humiliated by my abuser over several years, my mental condition and self-worth was at rock bottom.
