02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Financial Domestic Abuse Scotland was founded to expose and challenge financial abuse as a hidden but devastating form of domestic abuse. We raise awareness of how financial control, coercion, and systemic failings compound abuse, often leaving victims without remedy. Our work combines survivor-led advocacy with direct engagement of lawmakers, regulators, and human rights bodies. We highlight lived experience to show how police, courts, and insolvency systems can enable abusers, and we campaign for reform so victims are not silenced by process. In practice, we submit evidence to parliament, government, ombudsmen, and the United Nations, while soft-launching public awareness through social media. We cannot give legal advice, but we use our knowledge and lived experience to steer victims away from dead ends and wasted time. Looking forward, we aim to fund a free legal advisor and expand awareness campaigns so survivors’ voices drive systemic change.
