Synthetic dialogue generation offers a way to study conversational dynamics in sensitive domains where real data are difficult to access, release, or annotate. The underlying abuse may occur online or offline: threats and coercion can appear directly in messages, while behaviours such as surveillance, isolation, stalking, and physical violence may be planned, disclosed, or referred to conversationally. Privacy and legal constraints make it difficult the release of large-scale real conversation datasets; existing work has mostly focused on sentence-level toxicity of online abuses, leaving a gap in modelling abuse as a relational and temporally unfolding phenomenon. In this work, we focus on modelling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) scenarios as multi-turn dialogues. We introduce ConVAWG, a retrieval-grounded framework for generating CPS-aligned synthetic VAWG chat dialogues. ConVAWG builds scenarios from persona seeds, demographic patterns reported by the UK Office for National Statistics, official crime definitions, and retrieved Domestic Homicide Review cases; converts them into hierarchical event timelines; generates multi-scene role-play dialogues; and applies targeted activation-steered toxicity control to appropriate utterances. We release over 6,000 multi-turn dialogue events across 200 scenarios with rich scenario-, event-, and turn-level metadata. Extensive human evaluation, LLM-as-Judge assessment, ablations, and downstream tasks show strong dialogue quality and domain fidelity.
