Daphne White, an educator and consultant from Geraldton, WA, was the recipient of the 2021 Stella Giles Award for Achievement, an initiative by Soroptimist International of Western Australia. Daphne used the funding from this award to develop a free “Recognising Coercive Control” online toolkit that individuals or organisations can use to raise awareness of domestic and family violence and coercive control. Practitioners can also use it to share information with clients to help them identify patterns of tactics and behaviours of abuse or for education in secondary schools.
The toolkit launched on 30th November 2022, on Day 6 of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence.
Soroptimist International is a global movement of women, with members belonging to more than 3,000 clubs in 126 countries/territories, spread over 5 Federations
