Financial empowerment

The impact of violence is not only physical and emotional: it’s also economic. In most cases, physical violence is accompanied by financial abuse, another tactic to exert power and control. This can include intentionally damaging credit, draining bank accounts, preventing employment, or denying access to shared assets. 

Financial empowerment—feeling in control of one’s financial situation and making informed choices to support personal and community well-being—is essential for the safety and success of survivors and communities.
