Leaving an Abusive Relationship?

Leaving an abusive or controlling relationship can be a very stressful and dangerous time as family violence is often heightened during a separation. Every woman’s situation is different but you don’t have to face separation alone. A family violence counsellor can provide you with emotional support and safety planning, particularly in the event you have to leave your partner in a hurry.

Reproductive coercion is both a form of interpersonal abuse and a form of sexual violence. It is usually perpetrated against women by male partners and almost always manifests within a broader pattern of controlling behaviours known as ‘coercive control’.

RESPECT

We acknowledge, with deep respect the Palawa people, the traditional owners of Lutruwita (Tasmania/Van Diemen’s Land). The Palawa people belong to the oldest continuing culture in the world. They have lived in union with Country for many thousands of years. We express gratitude for their custodianship and stand with Palawa people in the declaration that sovereignty remains unceded.

We recognise that gender is not binary and proudly welcome people of all genders and sexual orientations.

We see gender inequality as both the cause and the context of family violence. Only by actively challenging gender-based oppression can we achieve positive and respectful relationships within healthy, inclusive structures and institutions. This outcome will ultimately benefit the whole Tasmanian community.
