Financial abuse is rarely talked about — because it doesn’t leave bruises. It leaves women dependent.
It’s the paycheck she’s told to hand over.
The bank account she’s not allowed to touch.
The spending she must “explain.”
The dreams she can’t pursue because someone else decides her worth.
This isn’t protection.
It’s control wrapped in the language of culture and “family expectations.”
Until we call it what it is, women will continue living in invisible prisons built from tradition, pressure, and silence.
