A steady and fair paycheck. A place to live that doesn’t eat half your income. Healthcare you can actually access when you need it. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we want to take a closer look at how economic factors like these impact survivors and violence prevention.
Join us on Thursday, October 29, at noon for Investing in Safety: How Economic Stability Prevents Violence. We’ll be joined by guest speakers from the Women’s Fund of Omaha, who will share findings from their recent Unequal Plains research. We’ll discuss how current economic conditions affect Nebraskans’ risk of experiencing violence and survivors’ pathways to safety. Finally, we’ll explore how we can build communities where all Nebraskans are safe and thriving.
Presenters:
- Claire Hoff, Research and Evaluation Director at the Women’s Fund of Omaha
- Cassie Neal, Freedom from Violence Project Manager at the Women’s Fund of Omaha
- Alex Pecoraro, Prevention Strategist at the Nebraska Coalition
- Rachel West, Prevention and Community Development Director at the Nebraska Coalition
