A safe place to live can be the difference between staying and leaving.
Many survivors remain in abusive relationships because they have nowhere safe to go.

Survivors deserve to know when the accused is released on bail and under what conditions. They also deserve enforceable rights and access to safe, effective remedies when those rights are violated. Our submission to the @SenateCA Committee on Bill C‑14:

Canadian banks are keeping a close watch on household debt and lending responsibly.
The upside? Most Canadians are responsible with credit, using it as a tool to move forward, not fall behind.

Your bank will never call and ask you to share a One Time Passcode (OTP) sent to your phone or email. Sharing it can give fraudsters access to your accounts. Stay vigilant!

DYK that financial abuse is a common aspect of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). This is when a partner is looking to gain or assert power/control over the other person through their finances.
Banks in Canada take IPV seriously and are continuously working toward protecting Canadians from it. Here’s how we’re doing so: cba.ca/article/ipv

Another woman was killed by her estranged partner just last week due to IPV. This government MUST make the declaration today and join the nearly 100 municipalities who have declared IPV an epidemic, the advocates, victims, survivors, families, communities and experts.

Parental alienation claims are often an extension of intimate partner violence & coercive control. Abusers will use their own children as pawns to harm & control their ex-partners.
If you've been wrongfully accused, share your story. Together, we are stronger.
@NAWL_ANFD
Have you ever been accused of “alienating” your child?
We are fighting to stop accusations of parental alienation in family court.
Sharing your story can help decisionmakers grasp how this impacts mothers and their children ➡️act.newmode.net/action/nawl/…

We can identify 3 main challenges with financial institutions in Canada:
1. Lack of access to financial services
2. Lack of training for banking staff
2. Weaponizing of financial products by abusive partners
Check out our calls to action for Canadian banks to take action!
