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
