Research: Economic abuse in New Zealand

Good Shepherd New Zealand worked with the specialist research team at Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand to establish an understanding of economic abuse in New Zealand.

This study considers economic abuse, specifically as a form of intimate partner violence where men perpetrate violence against women, within the New Zealand context. 

The purpose of the report was to contribute to a common understanding of economic abuse and grow the knowledge in this area to support effective, evidence-based policy and practice responses.
