A violent partner left Emma Artis facing bankruptcy but she found the strength to leave.
By Georgina Hayes & Ian HamiltonIt was after Emma Artis's partner attacked her with a knife that she found the strength to leave him for good.Her partner had given up work completely and Emma had accumulated debt to "maintain the quality of life that he had come to expect".
Emma said: "I can 100% guarantee that women who are in the situation I was in, if there's not enough money to sustain their partner's needs and expectations, the abuse is gonna be much more of a risk factor. "The biggest one is to make real the ability for women and children to stay in their homes, and to have the abuser rehoused or evicted if his name is on the tenancy," said Dr Marsha Scott, chief executive of Scottish Women's Aid.
"Leaving is the most dangerous time, and the majority of domestic abuse-related killings happen within a relatively short period of time of either women saying that they're going to leave, or actually leaving," said Dr Scott.
