What are the root causes of gender-based violence? And what’s the difference between economic and financial abuse?  

Today’s episode is a special one, because we talked about the calls to action of the #16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence and how organisations, institutions and individuals play a key role in ending violence against women and girls. 

We speak with our Senior Associate Solicitor at the Scottish Women’s rights Centre (SWRC) Lyndsay Monaghan and Jenn Glinski, researcher and expert on domestic abuse with unique expertise in economic abuse and banking.  

 
We highlight how violence against women CAN and MUST be prevented through  

- investing in organisations which provide services for women survivors of gender-based violence; 

- committing to structural reform of our legal aid system to address systemic barriers women face to accessing justice  

- increase awareness of all forms of gender-based violence including coercive control and economic abuse
