What does financial freedom mean to you? For many survivors of domestic violence, financial freedom means having the ability to leave an abusive relationship. Financial, gender-based violence is expensive, and 84% of survivors identify financial insecurity as their biggest barrier to safety. In this episode, Kimberly Jones and Nuray Ozbay from Self-Help Credit Union and Amy Durrence from FreeFrom talk with us about how allies can actually use their investments to support survivors of economic violence and help them achieve financial independence.
Featuring:
- Amy Durrence, Director of Systems Change Initiatives, FreeFrom
- Kimberly Jones, Director of Community Engagement-Midwest, Self-Help Federal Credit Union
- Nuray Ozbay, Investment Officer, Self-Help Federal Credit Union
