From the Inside Out: A unified voice [poverty/abuse]

Violence against women is intimately linked to poverty. In fact, systemic abuse is pervasive and a reality for many of our citizens, particularly if they are children or teens, seniors, people of colour, women, or not part of the dominant class… Does poverty and need make us more grateful and appreciative or does affluence and excess lead us to think we’re more privileged and entitled? … I believe that working with people who face multiple societal barriers keeps me in check and unwilling to perceive myself as better than or more entitled to the rewards of society than anyone else.
