Le contrôle coercitif ou quand la liberté se grignote en silence avec Florence Fayard Gonon

There are forms of violence we don't see: a glance averted, a key confiscated, a freedom silently eroded. This is coercive control, a difficult concept to grasp. In this episode, Dr. Florence Fayard Gonon, an emergency physician in Lyon, opens the doors to the medico-legal consultation service she helped create for women trapped in the grip of coercive control. You'll understand why women who are victims of domestic violence often return to their abusers, how isolation, confusion, and devaluation take hold day after day, and why this concept—born from the work of Biderman, Lenore Walker, and then Evan Stark—is only just beginning to be incorporated into French law. Florence also explains how her program, by bridging the gap between healthcare and the justice system, allows nearly 50% of the victims she supports to reach a court appearance, compared to the national average of 12 to 15%.
