Un-heard: Lived Experience in a Hostile System
Introduction:
This APPG was set up as a forum to work with representatives to increase awareness of the issues in child-centric family courts relating to the concept of parental alienation. It is essential that the child’s voice is prioritised in relevant proceedings. Thus, the APPG is trying to address the issues that arise due to the weaponised use of ‘parental alienation’ allegations in family courts.

Le Contrôle coercitif. Au cœur de la violence conjugale
Résumé:
Ce premier livre français sur le contrôle coercitif présente le concept qui pourrait révolutionner la vision de la violence conjugale et sa traduction juridique en France. Le contrôle coercitif, concept central d’une approche globale de la violence conjugale et intrafamiliale comme atteinte aux droits humains, désigne un répertoire de comportements oppressifs basés sur le privilège donné par le sexe. Il en est considéré dans plusieurs pays comme une meilleure définition juridique. Il révèle la violence conjugale comme forme de la violence sociale, loin de sa représentation courante comme forme houleuse de conflit conjugal/parental. Si toutes les formes de violence impliquent le pouvoir de contraindre autrui, comment les agresseurs familiaux attaquent-ils, avant et après la séparation, les droits, la liberté, la santé des victimes, en majorité femmes et enfants ? Pourquoi les effets du contrôle coercitif sont-ils durablement dévastateurs ? Comment appréhender ce précurseur majeur de la quasi-totalité des féminicides qui est aussi le contexte prévalent des violences envers les enfants ? Ce livre a un triple objectif : fournir les connaissances académiquement rigoureuses et socialement pertinentes pour décrypter ces comportements avant que les agresseurs n’utilisent la coercition et la violence pour contrôler les personnes victimes ; permettre la création d’une culture commune favorable au dialogue interdisciplinaire, interprofessionnel et sociétal pour mieux assurer la sécurité des personnes victimes et réduire l’impunité des agresseurs ; expliquer aux professionnels et aux personnes concernés les éléments-clés de cette approche, fondée par des données probantes issues de la recherche scientifique et prometteuse face aux difficultés de la justice pénale, civile, et de la protection de l’enfance, pour transformer les pratiques et les représentations de la violence intrafamiliale et pour garantir les droits humains des femmes et des enfants y compris dans les familles.
