October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month - it is important to understand that domestic violence is not only physical; it also includes emotional, verbal, financial, and psychological control, as well as social isolation and digital tracking.
Good News: HB1522 is now law!
This new law strengthens NHβs civil domestic violence statute in two important ways. First, it now defines the crime of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images as an act of abuse. Second, it creates a statutory definition of βcoercive control.β This law took effect on July 2.
