Financial abuse, sometimes called economic abuse, is the leading cause of “why she stayed.” Financial abuse is present in 99% of domestic violence cases.

"Domestic abuse does not end in the home. Abusers, especially those in positions of authority, often go out into the world and continue to exhibit these behaviors to other women. This isn’t just a personal issue; it’s a community issue. It’s a national issue. It’s a global issue."

Boundaries are so important to set in all of your relationships to make sure they remain healthy and flourish. When boundaries are violated, this can be a very strong indicator of abusive relationship.

Intimidation is how they force you into situations you don’t want to be in, and it’s one of the ways they insure you stay.

Did you know? According to a 2023 study conducted by Deloitte, women on average pay almost 18% more for health care over their lifetime compared to men, implying a pink tax on healthcare.
If you can expect to make less and pay more for health care and other essentials, it can be a barrier to escaping a financially abusive relationship. I know why she stayed, do you?

At the bottom of the graphic it says, “www.authorsagainstabuse.org.” The main text of the graphic says, “donate to our silent auction…Authors Against Abuse.” The main image is an open book with the side profile of a person floating over it and to the left of the face profile is a red/orange flower.

Every survivor needs equitable financial autonomy because leaving an abusive relationship shouldn’t be a privilege, it should be a right. We work to ensure every woman has access to the tools, support, and education needed to reclaim her freedom and build an independent life. #iknowwhyshestayed

This is a topic that comes up a lot when discussing #domesticviolence - the blame game and gaslighting.
These snapshots show how the media reinforces this narrative of blaming women for systemic problems, thus escalating the violence against us.
