Sue and Lloyd Clarke became passionate and vocal advocates for the criminalisation of coercive control after their daughter Hannah and Hannah’s 3 children Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey were murdered by Hannah’s estranged husband in February 2020 in a case that shocked and galvanised the nation.

Hannah had been a victim of coercive control for many years. Coercive control is a phrase we all recognise but many of us don’t understand what it is.

In this episode, Sue and Lloyd explain what coercive control is and Hannah’s experience of it, as well as the status of the laws around the country and the work they now do via the foundation they established, called Small Steps 4 Hannah, to end family and domestic violence in Australia.
