"Our Walk to Freedom” Reflections on the effects of domestic abuse and the road to recovery. A short video made by women from the project, together with Media Education.
VAWG Violence Against Women and Girls
This video discusses the urgent need to address systemic violence and harassment directed at women. the images emphasise that the issue is rooted in long-standing cultural attitudes and learned behaviours, advocating for a shift in how society educates younger generations about respect and boundaries. The video issues a strong call to action for men to challenge toxic behaviours among their peers and stresses the importance of better support for survivors and holding perpetrators accountable to ensure long-term safety and change.
Hidden in Plain Sight - Coercive Control and Domestic Abuse
Hidden in Plain Sight was created using genuine experiences and testimonies of survivors and focuses on the coercive control tactics and behaviours. By telling personal stories, the animation aims to engage the viewers to understand that coercive control is a pattern of behaviour that happens over time, has long-term consequences and distorts reality for the victims.
The animation is meant to be used as a training tool, to explore
controlling behaviour and tactics
the impact and consequences on women, children and young people
challenges in seeking help
challenges in identifying perpetrator's behaviour
