WHO WE ARE

Every survivor, regardless of circumstance, needs equitable financial autonomy because leaving an abusive relationship shouldn’t be a privilege, it should be a right. At I Know Why She Stayed, we work to ensure every woman has access to the tools, support, and education needed to reclaim her freedom and build an independent life.

The I Know Why She Stayed Initiative was founded by authors Kasey Rogers and K. J. Harrowick.

FINANCIAL ABUSE IS DOMESTIC ABUSE

By offering victims and survivors of financial abuse the tools to escape and recover, they can stop the cycle of trauma at its source and help rebuild a life of financial freedom.
