💜💜💜 Tomorrow, October 22nd, all are invited to wear purple in support of Domestic Violence Awareness! 💜💜💜
Financial abuse is an often an overlooked aspect of domestic violence. This is yet another reason why advocating for workers’ rights is so important.
Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, regardless of age, race, sexuality, or income level. People often think of physical abuse when they hear domestic violence, but abuse can involve multiple forms of harm and manipulation. Financial concerns can be a major barrier inhibiting domestic violence victims’ ability to live safely. A victim may feel trapped and forced to stay in an abusive relationship if they are financially reliant on their abuser. In order to empower victims and make their freedom more attainable, the social structure has to support their financial needs.
