New Zealand: 'Economic abuse' to be put on par with domestic violence
Submitted by Mastodon on Tue, 2012-12-11 19:43
Article here. Excerpt:
'Women's Refuge says a law change to put economic abuse - such as excessive control over the purse strings - on a par with violent abuse will help to counter the view that only physical abuse amounts to domestic violence.
"Economic abuse" will be included in the definition of domestic violence in major reforms to the Family Court which will go before Parliament for the first time today.
Examples of economic abuse include restricting access to money, extorting or spending someone else's money, or preventing someone from working.
Women's Refuge head Heather Henare said "economic abuse" was an issue for abused women as well as disabled or elderly people with caregivers or other family members who had some control over their finances. She said the change would make it easier for women to recognise it as a true form of abuse.'

Another way for feminists to commit fraud
What a load of hogwash. This is just another way that gender-feminist domestic violence advocates and gender-feminist operated domestic violence shelters can make up lies and get more statistics to arrest more innocent men. What we should really be doing is passing some laws to put these VAWA frauds in jail for witch-hunting innocent males as shown in Witch-Hunting Males at Youtube.
Good. I hope they pass it.
Good. I hope they pass it. With women controlling 80% of consumer spending as well as being a majority of the caretakers who care for the elderly, feminists are opening a can of worms that will come back to bite them. And expose a lot of women who do, in fact, engage in fraud and economic abuse against men. It seems like they're betting very strongly that women will be immune from such legislation.
