在澳大利亚,作为经济虐待的一种形式,胁迫性商业债务正在上升,由于缺乏保护,使妇女陷入隐性债务之中。 Coerced business debt is rising as a form of economic abuse in Australia, trapping women in hidden debts due to lack of protections.

Monash大学的一项全国性研究表明,在澳大利亚,强迫商业债务是日益严重的经济虐待形式,对异性恋关系中的妇女的影响尤其严重。 A national study by Monash University reveals that coerced business debt is a growing form of economic abuse in Australia, particularly impacting women in heterosexual relationships. 肇事者通过伪造文件或秘密登记,利用董事和ABN等商业结构,使受害者不知所措,直到被ATO或债务收款人追逐。 Perpetrators exploit business structures like directorships and ABNs through forged documents or secret registrations, leaving victims unaware until pursued by the ATO or debt collectors. 与消费债务不同,企业贷款缺乏消费者保护,使受害者无法获得争端解决、艰苦条件救济或法律援助。 Unlike consumer debt, business lending lacks consumer protections, denying victims access to dispute resolution, hardship relief, or legal aid. 这项研究以18名前线专业人员的投入为基础,呼吁紧急进行改革,包括加强登记保障,在法律上承认家庭暴力是商业控制的障碍,以及以银行标准为模式的债权人政策,以防止进一步伤害。 The research, based on input from 18 frontline professionals, calls for urgent reforms including stronger registration safeguards, legal recognition of family violence as a barrier to business control, and creditor policies modeled on banking standards to prevent further harm.
