Transforming responses to economic abuse

One in five women in the UK has experienced economic abuse by a current or former partner in the past 12 months. Economic abuse rarely happens in isolation; it normally happens alongside other forms of domestic abuse.

If you are in immediate danger, call the police on 999.

What is economic abuse?

Economic abuse is a legally recognised form of domestic abuse. It often takes place in the context of intimate partner violence. It involves the control of a partner or ex-partner’s money, finances and things that money can buy, such as clothing, transport, food and a place to live.
