The Equality Wheel describes the changes needed for batterers to move from being abusive to being non-violent, non-abusive partners. For example, the "emotional abuse" segment on the Power and Control Wheel is contrasted with the "respect" segment on the Equality Wheel. The wheels can be used together as a way to identify and explore abuse, and to encourage non-violent change.
*The Power and Control Wheel and the Equality Wheel were developed by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project in Duluth, Minn.
