It’s impossible to put a price on the cost of domestic abuse – to survivors, to the people who care about them, to the economy. Most importantly, to the women who lose their lives. One of the costs that can be overlooked is financial abuse. Economic security is fundamental to a person’s safety which means this form of abuse is often used as a means of control. Financial abuse can involve taking loans out in a partner’s name without permission, or deliberately keeping a partner’s name off shared assets. It might include limiting a partner’s access to their own income, preventing them from opening a bank account or recklessly spending money intended for necessities on something else.
