ECONOMIC JUSTICE (EJ) WORKGROUP

WHO WE ARE

The Nevada Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence (NCEDSV) is committed to addressing economic justice inequity issues through our NCEDSV Statewide EJ Workgroup. This unique workgroup was formed in 2021 with the force and collaboration of over a dozen statewide and regional agencies that serve some of the most marginalized and least represented Nevadans. These social service heroes hail from housing, children’s advocacy, voting rights, health services, employment, culturally specific services, equity/equality, human trafficking, and domestic and sexual violence.

ECONOMIC JUSTIC FOR VIOLENCE PREVENTION: CHALLENGING BARRIERS TO CREATE EQUITABLE SOLUTIONS, A PANEL DISCUSSION

On January 24, 2023, nearly a dozen content experts from across Nevada gathered on a panel to discuss economic equity as a tool for violence prevention. They discussed challenges Nevada is currently facing, the impacts on victim-survivors of power-based violence, and the need to prioritize policies related to these issues.
