Access to Justice for Victims of Economic Abuse
Economic Abuse is an important form of Intimate Partner Violence (“IPV”) that is often used to trap victims in an abusive relationship. Though victims of all types of IPV encounter barriers to accessing justice, there are particular issues for those victimized by Economic Abuse. This presentation explains the prevalence and consequences of Economic Abuse and explores the evidence that survivors lack access to justice. It proposes the primary obstacles survivors of Economic Abuse encounter and proposes specific actions to assist lawyers, judges, and legislators in recognizing Economic Abuse and promoting appropriate remedies.
This webinar is presented as part of Access to Justice Week 2025. To learn more about Access to Justice Week, and view other programming offered by CBA Alberta and our partner organizations, visit www.AlbertaAccessToJustice.com.
