Continuing our coverage from this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, this week Gabriela Calugay-Casuga sits down with Meseret Haileyesus to talk about an often overlooked aspect of gender-based violence: financial and economic abuse.

Meseret Haileyesus is an economic justice and health equity advocate, thought leader, businesswoman, philanthropist, change-maker, and entrepreneur. She is a founder of the Canadian Centre for Women’s Empowerment, with a keen interest in addressing systemic barriers and other challenges that prevent women and girls from fully realizing their human rights. Haileyesus works to influence public policy decisions that support domestic violence survivors to make a successful transition to economic independence.
