Remembered Forever

Luke and Ryan Hart founded the Coercion and Control Awareness (CoCo Awareness), in memory of their mother and sister, and to raise awareness and speak out against male violence towards women and girls.They both speak frequently at events and deliver training on coercive control, domestic abuse and resilience. So far, they have trained over 400 police officers, police community support officers and legal professionals in the Crown Prosecution Service. They are always looking for opportunities to share their story and challenge male violence against women and children in their role as White Ribbon Ambassadors and Refuge Champions.

In the words of the great Angela Davis, "I'm no longer accepting the things I cannot change, I'm changing the things I cannot accept", and it is with this boldness that Luke and Ryan have used their own experience of domestic abuse to help others. - Jeremy Corbyn MP, Leader of Labour PartyA powerful, searing account from incredible brothers and an important contribution to our understanding of domestic abuse. - BBCA determination to create light from darkness. - Suzanne Jacob OBE, Chief Executive SafeLivesI have been working at Refuge for 35 years, yet I am humbled by the sheer courage and sense of righteousness Luke and Ryan have shown since their mother and sister were brutally killed at the hands of their father. - Sandra Horley CBE, Chief Executive RefugeWhat Luke and Ryan have achieved by writing their memoir is to give their mother and sister a voice. Luke and Ryan Hart become the lighthouse in this book, courageously sending out their warning signal about the danger of coercive control and why it must always be taken seriously. - Katie Ghose, Chief Executive Women's AidI knew that their story was one which millions should hear. It is the most relevant and inspiring account that I have heard in the 15 years I have been active in challenging men's abuse and violence towards women and girls. - Chris Green OBE, Founder White Ribbon UK
