Escape the control

The government of Quebec, in collaboration with LG2, is continuing its efforts to raise awareness of domestic violence. The campaign focuses on a form of abuse that doesn’t get enough attention: controlling behaviour. Showing a woman forced by her partner to take selfies throughout the day to prove what she’s doing, the campaign is an important reminder that the spectrum of abuse goes well beyond the physical. Though often subtle, all violent acts, whether psychological, sexual, economic or otherwise, are extremely serious.
