Surviving Economic Abuse

Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) is a charity that aims to raise awareness about economic abuse in intimate relationships. Recently, SEA has highlighted the alarming rate at which economic abuse contributes to domestic violence-related deaths, with one death occurring every 19 days. The organization has also reported that almost 4 million children in the UK are affected by economic abuse, with 27% of mothers experiencing this behavior over the past year. A survivor's story was recently featured in a Guardian report, leading to an invitation for her to advise government ministers on measures to support victims of financial abuse. These recent developments underscore the significant impact of economic abuse and highlight the need for increased awareness and support for those affected.
