Economic Security Archives - Promising Futures

Promising Futures, a Project of Futures Without Violence (FUTURES) believes economic justice is integral to preventing gender-based violence and child abuse. Survivors of gender-based violence are often forced to stay with or return to an abusive partner because they can’t afford to leave. This is often due to several factors including barriers survivors face in finding and maintaining a job, child care and workplace sabotage from their abusive partner, and other forms of financial abuse. Additionally, survivors may experience harassment and abuse within their workplaces that impact their ability to find and maintain employment.
