Coercive control is a form of abusive behaviour used to create fear and, as a result, have power over a partner. The abuser will use strategies as a way of oppressing and controlling their partner. This includes behaviours that limit their partner’s freedom or impact their sense of confidence and self-worth, such as monitoring or harassing, isolating them from others, humiliating, or threatening them.
