…working to end systemic domestic violence and SYSTEMIC domestic abuse by building relationships, sharing stories, art, and wisdom
…educating and empowering Tucsonans to #SpeakUp and Speak Out…
The following are Projects and Partners working to end the cycle of systemic domestic violence and systemic domestic abuse.
We believe that the cycle of systemic domestic violence and systemic domestic abuse perpetuate for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Lack of sense of power and control
- Lack of understanding
- Lack of empathy
- Lack of empowerment
- Fear
- Stigmas
- Shaming
- Blaming
- Non trauma-informed Courts
- Inaccessible Court processes
- Unjust Court practices
- Improperly implemented and outdated Corrections processes and practices
- Economic duress
- Lack of effective social services
- Lack of responsibility and accountability
- Outdated (and non-trauma informed) policies, processes, and practices
- Inefficient (and insufficient) budgets
- Inefficient (and ineffective) supervisorial efforts and actions.
We believe the cycle of systemic domestic violence and systemic domestic abuse can be broken by many methods, including, but not limited to:
- Reducing the need for abusing power and control
- Updating and improving systems
- Breaking stigmas
- Stopping blaming
- Stopping shaming
- Updating policies
- Closing gaps in Court processes
- Closing gaps in support services for victims, survivors, and perpetrators of domestic violence
- Providing opportunities for building relationships in the community
