"I had no money to leave’: A survivor’s story of financial abuse

Loading player...
In a brave and emotional conversation, a KZN survivor shares her deeply personal experience of financial abuse. The kind that doesn’t leave physical scars but slowly strips away independence, safety, and hope.

She opens up about how her partner controlled every rand, how she felt trapped with a young daughter, and what finally helped her break free.

Her story is a powerful reminder that abuse isn’t always visible and that with support, healing and rebuilding are possible.
