Just four years since the coercive control legislation came into force in Scotland, we’ll be screening two films exploring the coercive control from its victims perspective.

Second Guessing is an exciting Hip-Hop Theatre work, choreographed and performed by Emma Ready.

Shifting Sands follows a woman trapped in a tangle of power control. Produced in partnership with GWL and the Daisy Project it charts a journey of survival and hope.

A photograph shows a school girl standing in the hallway of a home holding a phone to her ear and holding her other hand up to her face in distress.
