In our 2021 research study in the Greater Ottawa region, 30% of victims had their government support seized by abusers, further exacerbating their vulnerability. Women from marginalized groups, including newcomers, refugees, and racialized women, face an elevated risk due to systemic factors such as limited access to social services, economic dependence on sponsors, language barriers, fear of deportation, and a lack of awareness about available services. Refugee victims encounter specific barriers that hinder their economic well-being, ranging from a lack of information on financial and economic legal rights to isolation and language barriers.
We believe it is imperative to address these systemic challenges. Our commitment is to create a more inclusive and supportive environment through targeted interventions and services that cater to the unique needs of refugee victims of Economic Abuse. By doing so, we aim to ensure their access to vital resources and pave the way towards healing and empowerment.
