Non-fatal Domestic Violence Strangulation – Learnings for Practice Symposium | ShantiWorks
Non-fatal strangulation (NFS) is used by perpetrators of domestic abuse to control and intimidate their victims-survivors. It is an insidious and lethal form of physical violence which is about power, control and lethality.
During these two days together, ShantiWorks want to listen and learn about the history and advocacy that brought this issue to light and explore current research. This symposium will open space to talk about these issues to enhance practice responses and interventions with victims-survivors and perpetrators.
