POLICY AND SYSTEM CHANGE TO END ECONOMIC ABUSE

“We influence policymakers, all level of government, the private sector, business community  and financial institutions to remove structural financial obstacles that impact the economic empowerment of survivors”

WHAT IS ECONOMIC JUSTICE POLICY?

We believe that women’s economic justice is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty and economic inequality. Our goal is to create opportunities for women to succeed regardless of sex, race, age, disability, color, creed, national origin, religion, or genetic information. Our main principles of economic justice policy include universal basic income, income equality by gender and race, and equal opportunity for employment and credit.

Our policy influencing  approach is informed by lived experiences of survivors, particularly in the Black, People of Color, Indigenous, immigrants, senior citizens, newcomers communities as well as evidence-based practices which form an essential resource to inform and develop better policies and recommendations.

We collaborate with  with coalitions of women’s community organizations, financial institutions, Credit unions, banks, utility companies, essential service providers, telecommunication companies, industry regulators, ombudsman services, local and national governments, the criminal justice system (police, prosecutors, and the judiciary system), the family justice system, consumer lawyers as well as researchers and academics to influence government and industry responses to the financial impact of domestic and family violence.
