Map 3. Funding & Policy Landscape
Are services, funding, and policies meeting survivor needs? Are they advancing or inhibiting equity?
An equity approach to anti-violence advocacy acknowledges the structural inequities that impact survivors’ options for safety. It then works to change the systems, policies, and practices that create it.
Mapping data on the scope and impact of policies and systems can help advocacy efforts by drawing a clear line between policy and outcome.
The purpose of Map 3 is to:
- Bring to life survivor and advocate stories, illuminating the how the issue is experienced, the availability of advocacy services, and the human impact of funding and policies
- Share the state of policy across the nation on critical survivor-defined Policy Platform recommendations
- Lay-out funding streams that respond to the economic safety needs of those who are most impacted

Direct Cash & Flexible Funding
Direct cash assistance for survivors or no/low barrier flexible funding work best to meet survivors’ unique needs.
Coerced Debt
Coerced debt is a form of economic abuse where an abusive partner uses, exploits, and or damages credit for their own advantage and to restrict a survivor’s autonomy and agency.
