In this episode of For Her, With Her, we’re joined by Buffy Kerekes and Ersi Scarman from The Zahra Foundation to shine a light on financial abuse. One of the most common yet least understood forms of domestic and family violence, Buffy and Ersi share common experiences they hear from the women they work with, exposing how financial abuse can trap survivors and continue long after a relationship ends. We discuss the systemic barriers victim-survivors face, the emotional toll of financial abuse, and how services like The Zahra Foundation’s free, trauma-informed financial counselling programs and Financial Empowerment Checklist can help women regain control and confidence.
