Financial control is the outward symbol of independence for survivors. Every small victory—be it starting a small business, gaining employment, or mastering financial literacy—cements their belief in their ability to rebuild. Many survivors spend sleepless nights worrying about their futures, feeling trapped by the economic repercussions of abuse. Hearing stories of others who have overcome these barriers serves as a beacon of hope, reinforcing the message: "If I can do it, so can you."
