Posted @withregram • @womens_aid Abuse isn’t just physical—it often begins with subtle forms of control, manipulation, and isolation. Coercive control can be just as damaging, creating fear and dependency that’s hard to break free from.
Watch our powerful new film with @Ladbible to understand what coercive control looks like and how to identify the warning signs. Link in Women`s Aid bio or MK Act Stories.

Posted @withregram • @womens_aid Did you know that survivors of domestic abuse can travel to safety for free? Through our Rail to Refuge initiative, in partnership with the Rail Delivery Group, survivors can receive free train or coach tickets to reach a refuge. Since April 2020, this life-saving scheme has helped over 8,000 survivors, including more than 2,500 children, find safety.
If you or someone you know needs help, support is available through domestic abuse services that are members of Women’s Aid Federation, Imkaan, Scottish Women’s Aid, Welsh Women’s Aid, or Respect Men’s Advice Line.
Together, we’re helping around 6 survivors a day escape abuse and start new lives.
