Charlotte Bragg
My name is Charlotte Bragg, and I am about to graduate with a degree in English Language, with aspirations to become a copywriter. As a survivor of domestic abuse, I have personally experienced the pain and confusion that come with coercive control and emotional abuse. This has made me aware of how often many aspects of abuse are overlooked by society. Through my writing, I aim to contribute to informed discussions and shed light on the complexities of domestic abuse, raising awareness and deepening understanding of its profound impact on victims and survivors.
