**WHAT IS ECONOMIC SABOTAGE?**

Economic sabotage can be part of coercive control, deliberately undermining a woman's financial security, independence and ability to rebuild.

One of its most devastating forms can be the outright refusal to support the children — financially, physically, or both.

Leaving one parent to cover every expense, manage every school run, attend every appointment and carry the entire responsibility of parenting alone.

Food, clothing, childcare, school costs and bills don't disappear because one parent refuses to contribute.

The consequences can be life-changing: depleted savings, debt, lost career opportunities and years spent trying to rebuild financial stability.

And for some women, the impact can last decades beyond the relationship.

**Children still need providing for. Life still has to carry on. And one parent is left carrying it all.**

At BRANCHES, we're raising awareness of the hidden realities of economic abuse and the lasting impact of post-separation abuse.

Because rebuilding is hard enough without carrying the entire burden alone.

**RECOVERY • RESILIENCE • REBUILDING**
