We advocate for equitable economic policies that help prevent intimate partner violence and give survivors the opportunity to build violence-free lives

Like physical or emotional abuse, poverty itself is a form of violence. It literally makes people sick, shortening lives, causing poor health outcomes, and increasing medical costs. It also undermines people’s dignity, restricts their opportunities to provide for their families as well as their ability to heal and thrive. Poverty is preventable. Having access to resources, including money, is essential for both preventing abuse and for survivors as they endeavor to build violence free lives. ZeroV is committed to both engaging in systems change work and supporting survivors to create conditions to heal, recover, and ultimately thrive.
