Currently, a third of women who experience economic abuse do not seek help, advice or information. This needs to change. We’re working hard to raise awareness of economic abuse to ensure that victim-survivors can access the information and support they need when it matters most.

With a date for the #GeneralElection announced, it’s time to make sure #DomesticAbuse gets the national prioritisation it needs. Our manifesto calls for a whole-society approach to tackling #VAWG & for political parties to commit to our 3 pillars: womensaid.org.uk/get-involved/c…
