Resistive Violence – Responding to domination in the lives of victims/survivors 

Victims/Survivors are always active in their resistance to perpetrators’ use of tactics of coercive control, abuse and violence. As workers, we need to be able to analyse the ways that power and control is being used by perpetrators and how we further entrap victims/survivors in our systems responses. We will unpack the resistive strategies of victims/survivors as a response and form of survival to perpetrators’ use of coercive tactics, and bring forward victims/survivors agency when living in a context of entrapment and oppression.
