Understanding financial abuse
A form of family violence we don’t talk about enough
We know there can be barriers for LGBTIQA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Gender Diverse, Intersex, Queer and Asexual) communities seeking support for family and intimate partner violence
Follow the link here for the website.
It can also be hard to know how to best support people we love who experience family and intimate partner violence.
We want to encourage conversation to better understand what financial abuse looks like and make visible types of financial abuse that may be specific to LGBTIQA+ communities.
This page had been designed to outline what financial abuse looks like, how financial abuse might be used in our communities and where to get support.
We want to build community knowledge and offer some conversation starters and support people to reduce risks and recover from financial abuse.
