Coercion

Bodily autonomy relates to both the heart and the mind. While the discussion around autonomy is often in relation to the physical body, violation of autonomy can also occur through emotional and mental manipulation and coercion. Similarly, transgression against a person's autonomy and boundaries can impact how they think and feel, resulting in a secondary violation. The body, mind, and soul are all deserving of respect and compassion.
