Watch the video with 5 tips for women to gain financial independence and free themselves from an abusive relationship
Financial dependence causes many women to stay in abusive relationships. According to the survey by the Women’s Observatory against Violence in collaboration with the Datasenado institute, 46% of women do not report their attacker to the authorities because they depend on their partner’s money.
Considering these data, economic autonomy is one of the ways to combat violence against women and guarantee dignity to these victims.
Strategies such as job training programs and access to specialized lines of credit are key to strengthening women’s position in society and, consequently, reducing the dependency that often contributes to the perpetuation of violence.
Ilana Nasser, co-founder of Vendah, a direct sales platform, whose proposal is to supplement income by focusing on women, highlights that generating one’s own income for people in situations of violence is an effective strategy to break the cycle of aggression .
“Domestic violence not only affects the well-being of victims, but also has economic implications for society. According to the International Monetary Fund, violence against women and girls poses a threat to economic development. Therefore, investing in financial alternatives, such as training programs and access to resources, emerges as an effective strategy to reduce domestic violence, promoting not only the safety of victims, but also social and economic progress,” she says.
Furthermore, it is essential to raise public awareness about violence against property, which is often invisible. Asset destruction and financial control are subtle but devastating forms of abuse.
Financial education and encouragement to plan are valuable tools for people to not only protect their assets, but also achieve independence.
