Summary
The review highlights concerns regarding the perpetrator's escalating jealousy, controlling behaviour, and stalking, which led to the victim's isolation and physical abuse. It also identifies barriers to the victim seeking help and the need for greater employer awareness of domestic abuse, particularly within migrant communities.
