A former domestic abuse victim and an outreach worker from the Broxtowe Women’s Project believe the cost of living crisis is “catastrophic” for those in abusive relationships. They say less money means less freedom and a higher likelihood of people not being able to get away.
The Broxtowe Women’s Project is a non-project charity based in Eastwood. It has two main services: the adult outreach and the children’s outreach.
A former domestic abuse survivor who wants to remain anonymous suffered abuse throughout the early 90s. She spoke to Nottinghamshire Live about how financial abuse can affect people and how the cost of living crisis will impact people in terms of abuse.
