COUNTING THE COST: HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF Economic abuse and coercive control 2:30pm | Webinar

Economic abuse is a type of coercive control and it could happen to anyone. The abuser could be your partner, family member, carer or friend. They may try to control or limit your access to money, your ability to make money or build up debts in your name. Would you know the signs?  

To recognise Economic Abuse Awareness Day (EAAD) 2023, which has the theme ‘counting the cost’ and is part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, Women NSW will be hosting a free online event on economic abuse and coercive control.  

During the online event, you will: 

• learn the warning signs of economic abuse and discover resources to help protect yourself 

• find out how financial abuse can affect older women and women with disability differently 

• receive an update on the actions and progress since the last EAAD 

• listen to a lived-experience story that illustrates the compounding cost of economic abuse 

• discover more about coercive control and what support options are available to you.  

There will also be a deep dive into the Women’s Financial Toolkit to explore trusted resources that can help.
