Understanding the VAWG strategy and what it means for the response to economic abuse
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.
