@clerotto @DrEmmaKatz @aernstvi Melissa Boyle from @MastermyBalance just gave a really informative webinar to @survivorsinform. The magnitude of #EconomicAbuse must be understood at a base level. So many are down trodden from decades of this form of abuse, tied up in financial control

@mise_aine @philipnolan1 @VodafoneIreland @bonkers_ie The electric providers may be required to inform us but they do it in such a discreet manner that it’s easily missed. It’s a one liner on my bill, in with the usual text so I didn’t realise until my bill increased from the out of contract prices.

@Zurich It eventually got sorted, but it delayed the drawdown of my mortgage. Thankfully there was no rate increase while awaiting the correction😉

@CarrollJennifer @SAFEIreland @MensAidIreland @CoerciveCtrl_IE @katebentleykb Great to see the issue of abuse being highlighted, particularly financial abuse. However, more is needed to address the policies in place preventing individuals regaining financial control after experiencing coercive control.
