| description | Financial abuse refers to over control of a person’s money, income or asset. The problem occurs when lack of awareness
about financial abuse and victims did not realize that they are experiencing it. This paper explores the issue of financial
abuse among women in Malaysia and the objective is to analyze and understand the awareness of financial abuse
among women in Malaysia. 231 women respondents had agreed to join a survey and data was collected through the
distribution of online questionnaires using Google Forms and the data was analyzed using Google Form’s results. The
result of the study shows that 40.3% of respondents understood financial abuse, while 35.9% of respondents agreed that
financial abuse was incurred from individuals they knew. The study also found that 1.7% of respondents faced the issue
of being forced to use their money without consent and hand over their money to certain parties. Strengthening the laws
related to finance management and inheritance may protect women. Financial institutions also are expected to be the
first to detect if this issue happens. The best way to overcome financial abuse against women is to seek knowledge and
education. It should be considered a crime and awareness are extremely important. |
