Economic Empowerment Program
SAKHI'S EE PROGRAM IS A PIONEERING MODEL OF LINGUISTICALLY-SPECIFIC AND CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE SERVICES THAT EXISTS TO ENSURE THE FINANCIAL STABILITY AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF SURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. SAKHI RECOGNIZES THAT ECONOMIC CONTROL IS A COMMON FORM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. BETWEEN 94-99% OF SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HAVE EXPERIENCED FINANCIAL ABUSE. FURTHERMORE, BETWEEN 21-60% OF SURVIVORS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE LOST THEIR JOBS DUE TO REASONS THAT STEM FROM THE ABUSE. WE BELIEVE THAT SELF-DETERMINATION AND SELF-ACCESSTHE ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR ONE'S SELF AND ACCESS A PATHWAY TO ONE'S OWN GOALSIS KEY TO AN INDIVIDUAL'S LONG-TERM SAFETY AND SECURITY.REALIZING THE NEED FOR SERVICES AIMED AT IMPROVING SURVIVORS' ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, SAKHI HAS PROVIDED SKILLS-ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES SINCE THE MID-1990S UNDER THE BANNER OF THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE PROJECT.
