Domestic violence and women’s economic security : building Australia’s capacity for prevention and redress. Key findings and future directions Natasha Cortis and Jane Bullen - Sydney, NSW : ANROWS, 2016 - electronic document (12 pages); PDF file: 1.17 MB - ANROWS Compass .
ANROWS Compass, 2016, Issue 06
This short summary paper provides an overview of the longer research report released in the ANROWS Horizons series (Cortis & Bullen, 2016). The work builds on the literature review contained in the ANROWS Landscapes paper “Building effective policies and services to promote women’s economic security following domestic violence: State of knowledge paper” (#4775). That paper discussed how economic abuse is a frequent tactic of violence. However, service systems are not well equipped to prevent, identify and respond to financial abuse or the other economic harms associated with violence. Financial issues, including the prospect of leaving property or assets behind, are a major factor in women’s decisions about leaving or staying in violent relationships. The economic difficulties arising from violence, including loss of wealth upon separation, reverberate through women’s lives and increase hardship in the long-term. (From the abstract). Record #5249
