Today, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed An Act to Prevent Abuse and an Exploitation into law.
Massachusetts joins 48 other states making the non-consensual sharing of intimate images a crime and the seventh state to enact protections against Coercive Control, a pattern of abusive behavior used to dominate an intimate partner. Tactics can include isolation, financial abuse, verbal abuse, stalking and humiliation.
Special thanks to Rep. Michael Day and other legislators who credited the powerful survivors’ testimony for the speedy passage of this bill.
Well done advocates!
