My PhD research examines women's experiences of economic abuse in Scotland and the role and nature of financial barriers to leaving an abusive partner. It is widely recognised that routes out of abuse are directly impacted by policy decisions and how they play into individual lives of survivors of domestic abuse. My research, therefore, investigates how women’s personal financial situations prior and post leaving are likely to be affected by key social security policies in Scotland and the UK.
