Survivors often encounter the question, “Why don’t you leave?” when the real question today is, “Where can I go?”.
In this edition of Spotlight, our publication exploring pathways to ending violence, we highlight the crucial need for safe housing.
Housing is homicide prevention. Housing can mean a variety of different things, from temporary respite to finding your safe & permanent sanctuary. Even with a
housing crisis, uncertain politics and massive funding cuts, Wisconsin domestic abuse agencies continue to provide holistic advocacy.
We know housing is social, transformative and economic justice. We have all inherited the housing crisis that we feel so acutely at its intersection with gender-based violence. We don’t have solutions or answers today, but we do have the passion and collective will to demand change.
