Season 1 Episode 1: Coercive Control and Consent

About This Episode

In this premiere episode of the podcast Partnered with a Survivor, Ruth Reymundo Mandel and David Mandel, partners in their personal and professional lives, have a far-ranging and personal conversation about the relationship between coercive control and consent. From the defense strategy used by Harvey Weinstein to the re-victimization of a British national in a Cyprus rape case to the founding principles of the United States, David and Ruth dive deep into the topic of how coercive control shapes our understanding of consent and harms our ability to support survivors.
