📢 We're embarking on a new study on coercive control in Singapore, and we're looking for research respondents!
#Coercivecontrol is a pattern of behaviour whereby a person repeatedly isolates, degrades, exploits, controls, humiliates or frightens another.

I just finished @awarenews latest book, edited by @BurntCognac. It’s such an emotionally powerful compilation; I cried and laughed, felt shame at how unkind Singapore can be, but also deep admiration at the strength of every contributor. I highly recommend it.

We're disappointed that The Straits Times, S'pore’s paper of record, would publish this 3 Aug op-ed by Protect Singapore Townhall organisers Jason Wong and Mohd Khair—particularly on the half-page above “Why more needs to be done to help LGBTQ youth” by Anthea Ong and Rayner Tan.
ALT The Straits Times's Opinion section, 3 August 2022. Full-page layout with two opinion pieces. Top: "Section 377A: Putting children first"; bottom: "Why more needs to be done to help LGBTQ youth"

"We urge the Government to [broaden] the definition of family violence to explicitly include coercive control as an additional category of family violence." Alongside public education, a legislative update will advance understanding of coercive control.

Only an estimated 2-6% of reports of sexual assault are found to be false. So why do we indulge the myth that false accusations are rampant?
We must guard against "bogeyman narratives that allow abusers to escape accountability", writes @BurntCognac.
