Thanks, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses today here at status of women, a.k.a. FEWO, as we study coercive control.
We've seen a drastic rise in domestic violence. We've heard some wild stories which my colleagues around the table and all the women here today have shared.
I'll start with you, Ms. Koshan. I think it would be beneficial in this report to have a definition, because you've outlined this, of a protective mother. I always, for the record, want to say that this does happen to men. I always want to say this. This can happen any place, but we are focusing on women here. What is the difference between a protective mother versus coercive control? What is the definition? I think the definition is a key part of this conversation.
