RECOVER FROM COERCIVE CONTROL IN CULTS

Coercive control is a common tactic used by cults to manipulate and dominate their members. It can leave lasting emotional and psychological scars. Recovery involves embracing self-empowerment. By recognising and asserting personal agency, victims can break free from the grip of coercive control and reclaim their life. Recover From Coercive Control is dedicated to helping empower people and raise awareness of cults in Australia.

PETITION FOR COERCIVE CONTROL LAWS
 
Call for Australian Government to criminalise coercive-control within a high-control group:
 
https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN6576

​Petition Reason:

Australian law only provides protection from Coercive Control within a contract, and new legislation coming into effect in 2024 only apply within domestic relationships. However, cult-like organisations have the same characteristics and negative impacts.

​

Petition Request:

We therefore ask the House to legislate against the coercive control by any organisation. No group or individual should be allowed to use deceptive, manipulative methods that restricts a person’s ability to make informed decisions about their beliefs, access to information, thought processes and emotional state.

​

Please share with your networks and let's hope that the government takes action.
