Hear From a Survivor
Every Statistic Represents a Person.
This survivor shares how financial coercive control continued after separation and the lasting impact it had on her life.
Her experience reflects why greater awareness, stronger community responses, and earlier support matter.
Why You Made a Way Exists
When women told us what they needed most, they didn't ask for one more brochure or one more referral. They asked for someone to explain the system, connect them to the right resources, and walk alongside them through one of the most financially vulnerable seasons of their lives.
That's why You Made a Way exists.
When domestic abuse turns financial, too many women are left to navigate the system alone.
Many women remain in or return to abusive relationships because leaving often triggers financial coercive control.
Those who do leave are frequently cut off from marital income, overwhelmed by complex systems, and expected to rebuild their lives with little coordinated support.
The challenge isn't simply individual.
It's systemic.
No single organization guides women through every stage of this journey.
How We Help:
