Three Minute Thoughtcast Video Series

Dr Torna Pitman examines conversational control in action and how it serves to erode your freedoms and rights.

Coercive Control Video Series

Join Engender Equality's Dr Torna Pitman for the first episode in a ten-part series on 'coercive control', a pattern of domination that underpins many abusive relationships. This series is for our clients, your clients, your friends or family and the general public. Knowledge saves lives and helps us recognise the loss of human rights inherent to unequal relationships.

We acknowledge, with deep respect the Palawa people, the traditional owners of Lutruwita. 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.

Engender Equality proudly welcomes all people of diverse genders and sexualities including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, people with variations of sex characteristics (also known as intersex), queer and asexual people.

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 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.
