End Abuse provides a variety of educational opportunities to advocates, law enforcement, legislators, and community members to enable them to better serve survivors throughout WI.

We host trainings and events related to preventing and ending domestic abuse, and work to keep advocates and allies informed of trends, resources, policies, and practices that have an impact on survivors, families, and communities affected by domestic abuse. We focus on training for staff of local domestic abuse and sexual assault organizations, creating environments in which local services providers learn from each other and from experts in related disciplines.

Spotlight (2022-present)

Spotlight is a publication begun in 2022 from End Abuse exploring pathways to ending violence.

Spotlight: Crisis Prevention, Intervention, and De-escalation

In this issue, we offer materials from our recent webinar series, Supporting Survivors at the Intersections: Trauma, Mental Health, and SUD. We include: polyvagal theory, conflict styles, crisis planning, and risk/crisis/de-escalation.

Spotlight: Housing

In this edition, we spotlight the crucial need for safe housing. Even with a housing crisis, uncertain politics and massive funding cuts, Wisconsin domestic abuse agencies continue to provide holistic advocacy. We know housing is social, transformative and economic justice. We have all inherited the housing crisis that we feel so acutely at its intersection with gender-based violence. We don’t have solutions or answers today, but we do have the passion and collective will to demand change.

Spotlight: Survivors’ Right to Vote Safely

In this short Spotlight we highlight information and resources to help survivors and advocates stay safer and make their votes count.

Spotlight: Disability Justice

In Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha reminds us that “[disability justice] means we are not left behind; we are beloved, kindred, needed.” With the onset of COVID-19, a mass disabling event which also saw a global domestic violence (DV) pandemic, there was a collective turning towards solutions and ideas already cultivated by the disability justice (DJ) community as folks sought creative ways of access, support, and care. For many, this highlighted not only the brilliance and beauty of DJ, but also the systemic marginalization of those living in sick and disabled bodyminds.

We hope this report provides clarity on concepts that may be new or only vaguely familiar to many in this field; connection to how critical DJ is to all working towards safety and dignity for survivors of DV; resources to go deeper and challenge assumptions; and guidance for putting DJ principles into motion.
