We are Kentucky united against violence

ZEROV RAISES THE VOICES OF SURVIVORS

ZeroV, formerly the Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence, is the statewide coalition dedicated to creating safe lives and thriving futures for survivors of intimate partner violence and their children.

To achieve this, ZeroV examines all forms of violence, the cultural and social norms that sanction it, and the systems that perpetuate it. We do so through a lens of intimate partner violence and a trauma-informed approach to develop informed solutions that work for our most vulnerable Kentuckians.

ZeroV believes that a world safe for survivors is safe for everybody and that the responsibility of creating this world lies with all of us, including our coalition, communities, and Commonwealth. As a Kentucky united against violence, our work will persist until the violence in our state is ZERO.

We Advocate by amplifying the voices of survivors of intimate partner violence through our policy work and legislative efforts.

We Support by providing safe, affirming, trauma-informed care for survivors of intimate partner violence through our network of fifteen regional domestic violence shelters serving all 120 counties in Kentucky. 

We Empower by providing survivors of intimate partner violence with housing and financial support so that they can live independently from their abusive partners.

We Educate through training and technical assistance on intimate partner violence.

We Mobilize our members, partners, and the community.

And We Believe. We are grounded in the belief that intimate partner violence is a form of power-based violence. We cannot eliminate it until we change the cultural and social norms that allow and sanction it, and we must act together if we are to cut the violence in our state to zero.
