WIRE Women’s information has an exciting short term research position on violence against women. Women affected by family violence are often disenfranchised from seeking financial education due to their lack of knowledge regarding financial education programs. The financial education sectors lack of knowledge about the financial education and support  needs of women affected by family violence.  

The research will look at how and when to  engage women in understanding their financial capacity through educational programs.
