The Post-Separation Economic Abuse Wheel

The original Duluth Power and Control Wheel is used internationally by those supporting victim-survivors of domestic abuse. It helps identify different coercive and controlling behaviours and helps raise awareness of abuse extending beyond physical violence.

Based on my research findings, and with permission from Duluth, I have adapted the original wheel to reflect experiences of economic abuse post-separation. The Post-Separation Economic Abuse wheel highlights the different forms of economic abuse victim-survivors experienced; both by their perpetrators, as well as by systems and processes the perpetrator is able to manipulate.

This resource is intended for use by victim-survivors, as well as any charity/organisation/company/system that may come into contact with or support those who have experienced domestic abuse.
