Sabotaging her job. Refusing to work. Demanding she account for every cent. Destroying her credit. These are just a few examples of economic abuse. It’s a form of domestic violence that affects most women in abusive relationships, the consequences of which often continue even after they exit their relationship.
Ashoka Fellow Meseret Haleyesus founded the Canadian Centre for Women’s Empowerment, to build a social, financial, and regulatory safety net against economic abuse. Join us on April 19 to learn more about how she works with survivors, the financial sector, policymakers and more to enact ground-breaking changes in Canada's financial ecosystem.
This conversation will last about 30 minutes. Bring your questions!
