TW: This post refers to sexual violence and strangulation What is non-fatal strangulation? (and why is it so serious?) Non-fatal strangulation happens when someone intentionally blocks another person’s breathing or blood flow by applying pressure to the neck, throat or chest. Even for a few seconds. It’s not “rough sex” and it’s not a loss of control. It’s a deliberate act of power and domination that can cause brain injury, memory loss, or death, sometimes hours or days later, even without bruises. In Queensland, choking, suffocation or strangulation in a domestic setting is a serious crime under Section 315A of the Criminal Code. ❌ No one can consent to violence. ⚖️ The maximum penalty is 14 years in prison. 🧠 Research shows survivors of non-fatal strangulation are 7.5 times more likely to be killed later by the same partner. (Glass et al., 2008; cited in QLRC “I Just Want to Be Heard,” 2025) 💬 “He said it was just rough sex. I thought I was going to die.” – Survivor quoted in QLRC (2025) If you’ve been strangled, even if you feel okay: 🔹 Seek medical help urgently 🔹 Ask for scans to check internal injury 🔹 Contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) or NQ Women’s Legal Service for confidential support Your safety matters. You deserve to be heard. 💜 #SVAM2025 #ConsentIsKey #consentisntavibe #NoOneConsentsToViolence #NQWLS #StrangulationAwareness #EndGenderedViolence #KnowTheLaw (fb)
Recently, some of our extraordinary women went to the Queensland Law Society’s Family, Criminal, and DV Law conference. Connecting, learning, and bringing back fresh insights to better support the women in our community. Knowledge is power.
