Economic Safety and Security of Survivors
Economic security is central to achieving safety, agency, restoration, and justice. Consumer advocacy can be a powerful tool for achieving economic security for survivors, who may face collection actions for debt incurred or coerced by their abusers, credit damage, risk of identity theft and homelessness, and other financial difficulties as a result of abuse. This session will provide an intensive introduction to consumer rights advocacy to address the immediate and longer-term financial needs of survivors.
