Handouts & Guides
The purpose of Breaking the Links Between Poverty and Violence Against Women: A Resource Guide is to support the efforts of women's groups, community organizations and service agencies to support low-income women to take control of and deal with the poverty and violence in their lives. A secondary goal is to inspire community-based groups to take action on poverty and violence issues by providing practical examples of what others are doing.
Breaking the Links explores strategies and initiatives of groups actively working with women on violence and poverty issues. It highlights ways that services and programs can be adapted to meet the needs of low-income women. It also includes fact sheets on poverty and violence to use as educational tools. And finally, it presents a list of recommended resources with information on how to order them, if you wish to further explore these issues.
