It's all about the money - On Household Economic Discourses in Good Times and Bad, From Everyday Talk about Money to Economic Violence and the Economic Consequences of Intimate Partner Violence

Through interviews and focus groups with women and men from different socio-economic backgrounds, we aim to shed light on how economic abuse is manifested, what consequences it entails, and how it intersects with other forms of violence. The project contributes new knowledge to an area that has long remained invisible, but which is highly significant for gender equality, welfare, and social work.

Project objective

Projektets övergripande syfte är att utveckla en fördjupad förståelse av ekonomiskt våld, dess kännetecken och följder, samt att bidra till begreppsutveckling och metodstöd för yrkesverksamma som möter utsatta grupper. På så vis vill projektet stärka möjligheterna att förebygga, upptäcka och hantera ekonomiskt våld i samhället.
