Economic abuse leads to a death every three weeks, new data reveals

New analysis from Surviving Economic Abuse reveals that a victim of economic abuse dies every three weeks due to violence from a current or former partner. The report, based on over 400 death reviews in England and Wales, found that 51% involved economic abuse, predominantly affecting women. This form of coercive control significantly impacts mental health, contributing to suicides and increasing the risk of homicide, as victims often feel trapped without financial independence.
