A victim-defined approach begins with understanding each victim’s perspective.
Learn about her risk analysis and life circumstances, along with her priorities, past and current safety plans and relationship decisions.
Build a partnership; review risks; and identify options relevant to her priorities, decisions, and the dangers she faces.
Implement a strengthened comprehensive safety plan.

If the fundamental harm of abuse is that someone doesn’t get to be in charge of their own life…
Then, the remedy or repair of that harm is helping someone be back in charge of their own life.
Liberation
Autonomy
Self-determination

Safety –
and the gift of Safer
The concepts in the following slides are from Jill Davies and Eleanor Lyon’s work
![Page 18: Safety Planning with DV Survivors: Core Concepts · 2020. 6. 22. · Safety Planning with DV Survivors: Core Concepts May 15, 2018 10 –11:30am This event is supported by funding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051919/600b2164531ca605c478a707/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Safety requires more than the absence of physical violence.
A victim who is no longer hit by a partner but has no way to feed her children or pay the rent is not safe. Nor is she safe if she still experiences debilitating effects of trauma or lives in social isolation.
Victims are safe when there is no violence, their basic human needs are met, and they experience social and emotional well-being.
By definition: Safety

Safer as a goal for advocacy
provides a flexible and responsive measure of
success.
This mind-set opens possibilities
and reveals new strategies for
reducing violence and improving the
lives of victims.
Better for advocates, better for survivors

Safer enough
Basic human needs
Emotional and social well being
Freedom from
violence
Even with children, the day to day advocacy goal is not perfection (safety) but improvement (safer) although a standard must be met (enough).
To be safer enough, there must be an adequate level of all three components of safety:

Reducing violent & coercive behavior is the priority
Leaving may be a strategy but it is not the only strategy
• Understand the survivor’s perspective and priorities
• Work with the survivor to strengthen her safety plan

It works best as a partnership
Safer planning starts with
understanding the survivor’s risk
analysis
“The combination of victim
knowledge and advocate
assistance makes victims safer. This
partnership is victim-defined
advocacy.”
![Page 38: Safety Planning with DV Survivors: Core Concepts · 2020. 6. 22. · Safety Planning with DV Survivors: Core Concepts May 15, 2018 10 –11:30am This event is supported by funding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051919/600b2164531ca605c478a707/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Take a look at the forms
For people who have forms… Do the questions on your form facilitate conversations
about “safer”?
For people who have conversations… What do you make sure you discuss?
“The form drives the work.”

Understand the survivor’s perspective. Who is this other person?
Many of us are still just waiting for them to leave.
This is another way of thinking about it

Meet Carolina
Back Story
You have been working with Carolina for the past six months. At your last visit, Carolina seems very sad and talks about things being very hard. You have seen an accumulation of little things, and today, Carolina says she wants to talk to you about something that happened last week.
Beginning the safety planning process
![Page 46: Safety Planning with DV Survivors: Core Concepts · 2020. 6. 22. · Safety Planning with DV Survivors: Core Concepts May 15, 2018 10 –11:30am This event is supported by funding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051919/600b2164531ca605c478a707/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Carolina’s story
I had to send Jo-Jo (who is 4) to Amy’s last night (lives down the hall in her apartment building). I knew Sid was going “to blow.” I had worked out a plan with Jo-Jo to go to Amy’s when I say there is “a popsicle for him.” I want Sid to get counseling for his anger. I know he is worried about losing his job but I can’t take the stress anymore. I am worried about how everything is affecting Jo-Jo. I dropped out of high school when I was pregnant with Jo-Jo. My mother said she would pay for me to take the GED classes to get a high school equivalency degree. I don’t know how I will pay for childcare and Sid doesn’t like my mom anyway. My mom used to help with childcare but Sid said “no more, she interferes with our marriage.” I would like to figure out how to get more education when Jo-Jo goes to kindergarten but I am worried that I might get pregnant before I am ready for another child. I think that things are getting harder and harder between us; and I dread it when Sid comes home. It makes everything easier if I get Jo-Jo fed and to bed early.

Safety planning is central to our work
