As financial systems evolve, technology can be both a tool of empowerment and a means of harm. Building on last year’s Help Us Rise campaign focus on technology-facilitated economic abuse, this webinar brings together CCFWE and Interac to explore how survivor-informed policy, digital innovation, and cross-sector collaboration are reshaping the future of safer finance in Canada.
The session will highlight groundbreaking approaches that integrate safety and inclusion into digital banking systems, including protective features developed within e-transfer platforms to prevent economic abuse and safeguard survivors’ financial independence.
Join leaders and advocates as they discuss the role of financial institutions in preventing economic abuse, and how centering lived experience drives meaningful innovation for survivor protection.
