In case of an emergency: Police: 117 | Ambulance: 144
Psychological and economic abuse
This type of abuse leaves no physical marks. It is subtle and difficult to detect, but its impact on the health and lives of those who suffer it is far from insignificant. In this first episode, eight women survivors of psychological and economic abuse within their marriage agreed to share their experiences anonymously with VIOLENCE QUE FAIRE. Dr Escard joins them, sharing his expertise and offering insights.
What is psychological and economic abuse? How does this abuse differ from marital conflict? How does it develop in a relationship? Are there risk factors? What are the consequences of this abuse and how can we overcome it?
These are the questions that this first episode aims to answer.
