Normalisation of coercive control a wake-up call, says campaigner

Mary Crilly, CEO of the Sexual Violence Centre Cork said coercive control in young relationships is deeply concerning.

Sexual Violence Centre Cork has said grim findings from Women's Aid about the normalisation of coercive control in young relationships should be a "wake-up call".

The group was speaking after the publication of the report this week which found that over 90% of 20,000 young people surveyed had been threatened with the release of intimate images by their partners during an argument.
