The Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy includes economic abuse for the first time. In this webinar Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) will talk about what is in the VAWG strategy and if it goes far enough to transform responses for victim-survivors of economic abuse.  

Over four million UK women experienced economic abuse in the last year. By controlling victim-survivors’ money and economic resources, abusers trap victim-survivors in dangerous situations and prevent them from achieving safety and independence, even long after they have fled. 

That’s why a VAWG Strategy that prevents and disrupts opportunities for abusers to cause harm through our justice, welfare and financial systems is so vital.  

During this webinar, we will: 

• Provide an overview of the VAWG Strategy and key commitments relating to economic abuse. 
• Highlight SEA’s work influencing the strategy, and what we plan to do next. 
• Explain how you can work alongside SEA to ensure these commitments deliver real safety, security and freedom for victim-survivors

This webinar is open to everyone, but is particularly relevant for VAWG sector professionals, campaigners and victim-survivors.
