How Can We Help Low-Income Victims of Domestic Abuse?

#193 Great.com Talks With... Partners for Women and Justice

One act of domestic violence occurs every eight minutes and twenty nine seconds in

New Jersey. In this episode we talked with Julie Murphy from Partners for Women and Justice about the importance of legally supporting abuse victims from disadvantaged backgrounds.

What Does Domestic Abuse Look Like?

Domestic abuse is all about power and control. It can take the form of physical and sexual threats, emotional manipulation and bullying. Abuse victims are often isolated; their abusers cut them off from friends and family, depriving them of a vital support network. 

Partners for Women and Justice provide legal services to low income victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Julie explains that there are a complex set of issues they have to deal with connected to domestic abuse cases. Black victims, for example, are far less likely to seek help from police out of fear of racial prejudice. 

Tragically, the pandemic has seen an increase in the severity and frequency of abuse. There’s a direct correlation between loss of employment and frequency of violence. That’s why finding pro bono legal representation for abuse victims is more important than ever.

Listen to the whole interview to find out how victims can be made to feel safe. You can also read about volunteering your legal services. Partners for Women and Justice welcome donations so that they can continue to advocate for low income victims.
