Physical & Mental, Emotional and Economical Abuse
One in five people have experienced domestic abuse in an intimate relationship and 60% of all cases happen to be women.
Mental, Emotional, and Economical abuse are common forms of abuse and are just as serious as physical abuse and can have long-lasting effects. It involves an abuser restricting a person’s ability to acquire, use and maintain money or other economic resources like:
-
Restricting partner's access to money
-
Forcing them into debt
-
Preventing them working
-
Refusing to allow access to a car, mobile phone, etc...
Increased rates of multiple violence especially during the pandemic, have meant more women, particularly those with young children, need support.
We work with organizations that support women experiencing or have experienced social and domestic abuse and women who want to leave an abusive relationship and now want to move on and rebuild a life.
