If you’ve taken the decision to leave an abuser, your mail might be the last thing on your mind. However, as our mail often contains important or sensitive information, it’s vital that you consider how an abuser may use this, even post-separation & take steps to protect yourself.

One in four women report that even once they leave an abusive partner, the economic abuse continues – in some cases this behaviour escalates or may even begin as other routes to control through physical proximity are closed down. Find out more:

Leaving an abuser is difficult, especially when economic abuse has left survivors with nothing. Starting anew, overcoming debts, & rebuilding economic stability can be overwhelming. If you or someone you know is experiencing economic abuse, find support:

Today we’ve written to the leaders of all political parties asking that they write the #DABill into their #GeneralElection2019 manifestos & highlighting how they can address missed opportunities such as making #EconomicAbuse a standalone crime.

Opinion: Domestic abuse victims are becoming the silent voices in the general election

The timing of the Bill's delay is especially painful as campaign groups argue that incidents of domestic violence traditionally rocket during the festive period, fuelled by alcohol, financial...

"I can see my own money going into my own bank account. I get to pay the bills, sort out the car insurance. I get to choose what clothes I am going to wear. I have had to learn how to normalise these behaviours." @Ruth_ITV tells her story. #EconomicAbuse

Perpetrator intervention programmes can play a critical role in tackling domestic abuse. However, it's vital that any perpetrator programmes also address abusive behaviours linked to money.

Half of victims I surveyed said they wanted support for the abuser to change. Yet just 7% received it. Good to speak to @sallynugent @BBCBreakfast this morning about the need for sustainable funding for domestic abuse services, including accredited perpetrator interventions.

One myth we're keen to bust is that #EconomicAbuse "isn't high risk" or urgent. Not only does economic abuse often accompany other forms of abuse, including sexual and physical violence, but it can prevent a victim-survivor from being able to get away from the perpetrator.

With 2 women a week being killed by their (ex)partners, we want to see a #DABill return to Parliament containing a full statutory duty on local authorities to commission vital domestic abuse services for all. We’ve signed up. Will you? #Invest2EndAbuse

Why we must #Invest2EndAbuse

#Invest2EndAbuse calls for the UK Government to invest in specialist domestic abuse support.

Forcing a partner into #CoercedDebt is a common tactic of #DomesticAbuse . It's fantastic news that @NatWestGroup (together with @safelives_ ) have launched a review into how to better support customers who have acquired coerced debt from #EconomicAbuse .

A huge thank you to Baroness Lister for supporting amendment 149, quoting a victim-survivor who had written to her — "please give survivors protection from ongoing abuse after we leave, as this is often the most dangerous time for victims." #PostSeparationAbuse #StillNotSafe

📣 The #DABill progresses to Committee Stage in the @UKHouseofLords on 25 Jan. We will continue to call for a vital amendment to extend #CoerciveControl legislation to include #PostSeparationAbuse . This recognises that survivors are frequently #StillNotSafe , even after leaving.

Q: What do you mean by 'economic abuse' — isn't that the same as #FinancialAbuse ? A: It can be helpful to think of financial abuse as a subcategory of #EconomicAbuse .

This time of year can be difficult for victim-survivors. On top of festive financial pressures, abusers can use the holidays to further coerce survivors into debt or control access to food & gifts. If you're experiencing abuse, you are not alone. Find support on the SEA website

Four #DABill amendments rejected in the @HouseofCommons were reinstated in the @UKHouseofLords yesterday, including the serial perpetrator database & equal protection for all victims regardless of immigration status. The Bill now returns to the Commons for further consideration.
