What Is
Economic Justice
Economic inequality, financial dependence, and lack of resources can contribute to violence, making it imperative to address these aspects as preventative factors.
Economic disparities can give individuals greater financial control over others, making it challenging for survivors to escape abusive relationships. Lack of funds, housing, and resources often make it difficult for survivors to leave dangerous situations. Economic stressors can exacerbate tensions within relationships, potentially escalating the frequency and severity of abusive incidents.
Current actions:
ACESDV teaches advocates
how to provide survivors with financial literacy skills, empowering survivors to regain control over their finances and make informed decisions.
ACESDV advocates for funding
for and access to safe and affordable housing options which is vital for survivors seeking to escape abusive environments.
ACESDV advocates for pathways
to stable and secure employment for survivors, including protected paid parental and medical leave, equal pay, affordable childcare, and increased minimum wage. This offers survivors financial independence, reducing their vulnerability to harm.
