The Depp defamation suit should outrage and appall you | Jill Filipovic | The Guardian
The question in this trial was not who was the abusive partner; it was whether Heard defamed Depp by writing an op-ed in which she identified herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse” and argued that “institutions protect men accused of abuse.”
Go ahead: re-read the op-ed. What you won’t find anywhere in it is Heard saying that Depp abused her. Instead, you will find her making statements that are not defamatory, but objectively true: that she became a public figure representing domestic violence; that her career suffered for it.

The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial was an orgy of misogyny | Moira Donegan | The Guardian
The trial has turned into a public orgy of misogyny. While most of the vitriol is nominally directed at Heard, it is hard to shake the feeling that really, it is directed at all women – and in particular, at those of us who spoke out about gendered abuse and sexual violence during the height of the #MeToo movement. We are in a moment of virulent antifeminist backlash, and the modest gains that were made in that era are being retracted with a gleeful display of victim-blaming at a massive scale. One woman has been made into a symbol of a movement that many view with fear and hatred, and she’s being punished for that movement. In this way, Heard is still in an abusive relationship. But now, it’s not just with Depp, but with the whole country.

Coercive Control is a Pattern of Coercive Behaviors used to Gain or Maintain Power and Control of One Person over Another.
Coercive control is a strategic form of ongoing oppression and terrorism used to instill fear.
It is illegal in some countries.
"Coercive control creates invisible chains and a sense of fear that pervades all elements of a victim’s life. It works to limit their human rights by depriving them of their liberty and reducing their ability for action. Experts like Evan Stark liken coercive control to being taken hostage. As he says: “the victim becomes captive in an unreal world created by the abuser, entrapped in a world of confusion, contradiction and fear.”

SmartWater: The forensic spray helping keep women safe | BBC News
The first person in the UK has been convicted and jailed for domestic abuse after being sprayed with SmartWater - a forensic liquid which shows up under ultraviolet light. The technology is being trialled by police forces in the hope of keeping women safe.
The substance stays on skin for up to six weeks and on clothing for much longer and categorically links the perpetrator to the specific batch of water that was sprayed.
The victim, in West Yorkshire, is one of over 200 women across England who now have the forensic deterrent packages in their homes. The packages include a hand-held canister for spraying, a gel for door handles and gates, and an automatic trap that sprays the liquid if someone approaches the house.
