Technology-facilitated Coercive Control: Mapping Women’s Diverse Pathways to Safety and Justice

This comprehensive report explores the growing phenomenon of technology-facilitated coercive control (TFCC) in the context of domestic and family violence (DFV). TFCC refers to the use of technologies—such as communication and geolocation tools—to exert control over victims. Drawing on interviews with victim-survivors and frontline workers, the report identifies significant gaps in justice and support services for women experiencing TFCC. It highlights the lack of understanding of TFCC among police, service providers, and the general public, and provides critical recommendations to improve safety and justice pathways for victims. The report underscores the need for more training, resources, and funding to enhance the capacity of DFV services in addressing the complex needs of victims, especially in the context of rapid technological advancements.
