The page is useful to underscore the importance of assessing policy for its effects on battered women and their families living in poverty and the need to provide relevant and respectful advocacy and resources.
Advocates might use this document to help them explain the role they have in a collaboration or to explain the need for policies that offer meaningful choice and options to women from different cultures, women with financial needs, women with children affected by domestic violence, women with parenting issues, and women experiencing chemical dependency or mental health issues.
