Notes:	Issues paper related to ANROWS research project RP.14.16 - Building effective policies and services to promote women's economic security following domestic and family violence Understanding economic and financial abuse Economic abuse involves behaviours aimed at controlling women's ability to acquire, use or maintain money, credit, property, or other economic resources, which harm women's economic security and potential to achieve self-sufficiency. Economic abuse is formally recognised in family violence legislation in four Australian jurisdictions, although legislative definitions and examples differ in each, reflecting the wide range of possible behaviours through which perpetrators may inflict economic harms, and the lack of a standard definition. While 'economic abuse' captures the wide range of economic means of exerting harm, including interfering with women's opportunities for skill development and workforce participation, the narrower concept of 'financial abuse' focuses on tactics of economic abuse pertaining to money, including debt, credit, and financial wellbeing.
