NYS Coalition Against Domestic Violence

“Although we have always focused on safety and injustice for battered women, we need to add to our agenda their right to economic resources to end violence and poverty in their lives.”

- our late friend and sister Susan Schechter

Economic Justice Collaborative

One of the frequently overlooked forms of domestic violence is that of economic abuse. Often abusers control finances, leaving the victim dependent and powerless financially. In order to help victims gain financial and economic independence, the Coalition developed the Economic Justice Collaborative in partnership with domestic violence programs across the state.

The purpose of the Economic Justice Collaborative is to provide meaningful economic relief and support for domestic violence victims. The Collaborative allows the Coalition to support the economic justice programs of local partnering programs, enhance and strengthen collaborative relationships between partnering programs and their local partners to further economic justice goals on a broader scale, and create economic justice strategies with local domestic violence programs throughout the state to remove barriers to economic self-sufficiency for victims of domestic violence.

The Collaborative provides funding and support for domestic violence programs to initiate and carry out economic justice programs in a manner that is both safe and self-sufficient for domestic violence victims.

The Collaborative is a funded by the Allstate Foundation, in partnership with NNEDV and a network of statewide coalitions. For more information on this initiative please visit the Allstate website.
