Tennis star Serena Williams wants to raise awareness of how money
plays a role in domestic abuse.

"It's an invisible but also really devastating form of domestic abuse."

Tennis champion Serena Williams is lending her voice to Allstate
Foundation Purple Purse, a decade-old initiative to provide financial
empowerment to domestic abuse victims.

One reason financial abuse is so prevalent, Williams said, is because
it takes many forms. An abuser might reach out to their partner's boss
and undermine their ability to stay in their job, or the abuser might
use credit cards in their partner's name to damage their credit score.

"If a woman's credit is ruined, she can't get an apartment," Williams
pointed out. "Most of the time when people leave abusive
relationships, they have this awful debt and that can take years and
years to recover, especially if they have kids."

That's why addressing the problem of physical violence alone might not
be enough, and why Williams is lending her support to Purple Purse.
This is not the first time the athlete has gotten involved in fighting
violence; she started the nonprofit Yetunde Price Resource Center in
2016 with her sister Venus to help victims of community violence, in
honor of their sister Yetunde Price, who was killed in a shooting in
2003.
