The first time I held hands with my first boyfriend, he told me my hands were too dry & suggested *kindly* that I could use something to soften them because he loved holding my hand. He also then told me that I didn’t look good in jeans and he only wanted me to look my very best because I am so beautiful. He also told me he was with me for my brains and intelligence and because I was so strong and looks were not important to him. He then gave me *advice* on how I could get a flatter stomach by doing sit-ups. These were always ‘suggestions’ because he loved me so much and only wanted the best for me. People couch coercive control in benevolence and this is why it is difficult to talk about and so important to talk about.

A man pointed at a mannequin in which it had on an underwear and told them,
"Hey beautiful, you want this? I can buy it for you?"
Then proceeded to say,
"Chill. I'm just trying to be nice!"

All social media channels are breeding grounds for criminals of all sorts. Community standards on all social media channels need to be much higher. #stoponlineabuse

A4 Timely action and simplification of grievance redressal mechanism.
Adequate Support with assurance of protection of identity and data etc.Most of the people dont complaint as they are afraid of getting their identity revealed.

A4 educate, support and listen. Believe the survivor. #endonlineabuse Collect evidence. Document the incident with as much detail. Do not be afraid to ask for help or report.

A3 I have been inspired to do more to #endonlineabuse and we have done lots of programs to help people understand what it is, the legislation in India, formal and informal ways to report. Vaibhavi Maske has delivered a lot of trainings for us.
