What it's like to suffer 'economic abuse'

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Domestic violence often conjures up images of physical abuse, but another way that people can be controlled is through finances, and access to economic resources. 'Economic abuse' makes escaping that situation all the more difficult and now a charity in the UK is asking the government to recognise this form of abuse in law. Rachel - not her real name - shares her personal experiences. (Photo: Man in white T-shirt holding cash, Credit: Getty Images)
