Spotted on Waiheke

Saw this poster up in the women's toilet at a bar/restaurant recently.



You probably can't read it all that well, sorry about that. The point is that it's a tool to help women identify when they are the subject of abusive behaviour, and where to get help locally.

What a brilliant idea. Kudos to the Waiheke branch of Living Without Violence for the initiative, and Vino Vino in Oneroa for hosting it.

Has anyone spotted anything similar elsewhere?

It's actually the power and control wheel from women's refuge.

Yes. Been around a long time, its the Duluth Power and Control Wheel. Been in use in NZ since the late 80s when I first saw it.
