Power and Control in Prostitution
Power and Control in Prostitution
Originally created by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project in Duluth, Minnesota, the Power and Control Wheel is a way of visualising the complex interplay of abusive and violent behaviours that domestic abusers utilise in intimate relationships. It has now been used to throw light on abusive behaviours in many other situations. Here we use it to raise awareness of the violence, abuse and coercion inherent to prostitution.
