Economic abuse: insidious financial control with serious consequences

Economic abuse refers to mechanisms of control through money: deprivation of access to resources, forced indebtedness, control of accounts, or refusal to contribute to household expenses. These practices, often gradual and difficult to identify, isolate victims and deprive them of their financial independence.

To better understand these situations and the warning signs to look out for, read our detailed article: Economic abuse: how to identify it and react?
