Authors Against Abuse
AUTHORS AGAINST ABUSE
Where Words Ignite Change
Throughout history, authors have shaped revolutions, transformed societies, and given voice to the unheard. Their words spark movements, challenge injustice, and bring hidden truths to light.
Today, we invite you to be part of something bigger. Authors Against Abuse (an I Know Why She Stayed Initiative affiliate) is a global movement; a historic gathering of authors, activists, and thought leaders and organizations uniting to combat domestic violence worldwide.
This is your moment to stand for change, raise awareness, inspire action, and be part of a cause that will impact generations. Contact us to become a partner.

When Love Becomes Leverage:
The Realities of Coercive Control
What happens when love is weaponized? This panel dives into the psychological and financial tactics abusers use to manipulate, isolate, and dominate their partners — all under the guise of care, concern, or romance. We’ll examine the lived realities of coercive control, the warning signs often missed, and the cultural myths that keep survivors silent. Through personal stories and expert insights, this discussion will confront the complex and painful ways control is exerted in intimate relationships — and how we begin to name and dismantle it.
