COVID’s impact on women is clear. Not only have women been most financially impacted by the pandemic, but rates of domestic violence and child abuse have increased significantly. Long-term the consequences of the “she”-cession will further disadvantage women, and women from underserved communities in particular. Loss of employment, future earning potential, and safe and secure housing all impact survivors of gender-based based violence disproportionately.   

In this discussion, panelists will speak to the ways that COVID has directly impacted the economic security and safety of survivors of gender-based violence, and the lessons learned regarding supporting survivors during this time.

This webinar is offered at no charge.
