Financial abuse can take many forms, including an abuser restricting, controlling, limiting, or gaining access to a survivor's financial resources [4]. Some studies have shown that financial abuse occurs in as many as 99% of domestic violence cases [5]. Two useful resources are WomensLaw.org, a project of the National Network to End Domestic Violence (aka NNEDV), and the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Lastly, we can volunteer with organizations, like the Shine Foundation, that help domestic violence survivors recover from their financial trauma. Understanding the financial impacts, alone, may not solve for domestic violence.
