Economic violence against women encompasses all behaviors and attitudes that cause economic harm to women. Acts of economic violence include restricting women's access to financial resources, damaging or seizing their assets, and hindering their participation in education and employment. This study aims to understand women's experiences of economic violence and coping strategies through interviews conducted with Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Women's Center members. The research questions "How do women's experiences of economic violence shape their economic independence and participation in financial decision-making processes?" and "To what extent do socio-economic differences affect women's coping strategies against economic violence?" guide this master's thesis. By integrating data obtained from fieldwork with existing relevant literature, the thesis seeks to amplify the voices of women who have experienced violence, strengthen solidarity among women, disseminate the strategies devised by women, and serve as a resource for combating economic violence, an area with limited research in Turkey.
