The programme is open to women who are currently or have previously been engaged with SATEDA, including those who:

• Have experienced economic abuse

• Are recovering from post-separation abuse

• Want to learn how to identify the signs of economic abuse

• Seek to better understand the impacts on themselves and their children

You will learn about economic abuse in a non-judgemental, women-centred space.

Economic abuse is a form of domestic abuse where one partner controls another’s access to money, resources, or financial independence. It is often used to isolate, manipulate, and control a person, making it harder for them to leave the relationship or recover after it ends. Economic abuse can happen during a relationship and after separation.
