This #LaborDay (and every day), we're grateful for the labor of domestic violence advocates across the country as they help survivors heal after abuse. Many of these advocates are also survivors themselves. 🧡 They deserve to do their jobs safely and be paid fairly. Share this post to help us #ThankAnAdvocate today!

Save the date! 🕒 NNEDV's 19th Annual Domestic Violence Counts Survey is just four days away. This annual survey documents the number of people who sought services in a single 24-hour period, as well as the types of services requested, the number of service requests that went unmet due to a lack of resources, and the issues and barriers domestic violence programs face in providing services to victims. Each year, our #DVCounts Report summarizes this data and is instrumental in raising awareness about domestic violence and the incredible work local domestic violence programs do every day, providing lifesaving services to survivors and their families. Learn more and make sure your program is ready to count with us on ➡️ Wednesday, September 4 ⬅️ https://bit.ly/4dYM1Vw [Image description: Against an orange background with an image of a clock, text reads: "Save the date! 19th Annual Domestic Violence Counts Survey Day.

We're so proud of our partnership with the Kering Foundation and our shared efforts to help address the impacts of domestic violence in the workplace. 💜
Creating a safe and supportive workplace for survivors Domestic violence is a workplace issue as it impacts the professional lives of women survivors, affecting their relationships with colleagues and their overall well-being at work. The workplace is often the only place where survivors of domestic violence can seek help, co-workers becoming their primary allies. In addition, it is essential for women to maintain their employment and financial independence. Since 2011, Kering Foundation has developed an internal program to create a safe and supportive work environment for survivors of domestic abuse. It includes: - internal trainings to explore the cycle and impact of domestic violence, deconstruct stereotypes and provide an understanding of the role a company can play in supporting survivors. These trainings are developed in partnership with national specialized organizations: 🇫🇷 Fédération Nationale Solidarité Femmes 🇮🇹 D.i.Re - Donne in Rete contro la violenza 🇬🇧 Women's Aid Organisation 🇺🇸 The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) - a 30-minute e-learning available in 7 languages for Kering employees, developed with the OneInThreeWomen network. - Kering's Global Policy on Domestic Violence, which offers all its employees who are victims of domestic violence a completely confidential package of support measures. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive professional environment for everyone. For more information 🔗https://lnkd.in/eADHhua2

Pregnancy is a very dangerous time for domestic violence survivors, and preventing pregnant survivors from divorcing abusers can be deadly. NNEDV is grateful for the leadership of Representatives Cleaver and Foushee for recognizing these serious risks and introducing the Pregnancy Empowerment Act, which would prohibit any jurisdiction from requiring the disclosure of a person’s pregnancy status when filing for divorce.

Homicide is a leading cause of death for pregnant women in the U.S., with the majority committed by an intimate partner. Prohibiting, limiting, or delaying finalizing a divorce for pregnant people can be a life-threatening situation for survivors. Stephanie Love-Patterson NNEDV President & CEO."
