Translations:Managing Conflict Respectfully/13/en

A distinction worth holding is that between conflict and mistreatment. Conflict involves two people with competing positions, both of whom retain the ability to speak and to leave. Mistreatment involves pressure, intimidation, humiliation, or the removal of someone's ability to say no. Attempts to reframe intimidation as merely "a strong disagreement" can carry real risk, and persistent patterns of this kind are more meaningful than any single incident.
