Empowering Women: Financial Superwomen Workshops for Domestic Violence Survivors




Financial Superwomen poster

Financial security is crucial for anyone, but for women recovering from an abusive relationship, it can be life-changing. Broken to Brilliant understands this and has developed the Financial Superwomen Workshops—free, accessible sessions designed to equip female survivors with the financial knowledge they need to rebuild their lives and secure a brighter future.

 

Why Financial Knowledge Matters

Breaking free from an abusive situation is an incredible first step, but it often comes with significant financial challenges. Many survivors find themselves overwhelmed by the complexities of managing finances—whether it’s budgeting, understanding banking, or navigating the process of renting or buying a home. Our workshops are designed to demystify these topics, making money management accessible and empowering women to take control of their financial futures.
