Economic violence is a serious problem that destroys a person's financial independence. Masked as 'rational budget management' or 'concern for finances', it can limit the life opportunities of victims. Practices such as prohibiting work or education, pressuring access to one's own money, and controlling spending are forms of economic violence that must be resisted.


As part of the international campaign '16 days against violence', it is important to remember the issue of economic violence and other forms of domestic violence. If you find yourself in a situation where your financial capabilities restrict your freedom, do not hesitate to seek help from law enforcement immediately.
