520 |a Economic abuse is a significant gender-based problem in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa, but few studies explore the consequences of this type of abuse on women's lives and their coping strategies.

Some women coped by relying on external family networks, religion, and theft from husbands, while others trivialized their experiences.
