Economic and Income Security

Strengthening Economic Independence and Long-Term Stability

Economic security is essential to safety, wellbeing, and freedom from abuse. People experiencing economic abuse often face disrupted employment, reduced income, financial exclusion, and barriers to accessing benefits and supports. CCFWE works to strengthen policies that promote economic independence and reduce financial vulnerability.

Key Priorities

  • Employment and labour market participation
  • Income supports and social assistance
  • Employment Insurance and leave protections
  • Guaranteed liveable basic income
  • Retirement security and pensions
  • Women’s economic empowerment and financial inclusion

Our Work

We advocate for policies that strengthen income security, improve access to benefits, and support long-term economic stability for people experiencing economic abuse and their families.
