Zerov

ZeroV, formerly the Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence, is a strong, statewide organization that champions the dignity and worthiness of every survivor while recognizing the diverse and complicated issues that can affect their ability to live in safety and wholeness. The mission of ZeroV is to abolish the social conditions and systems that spark, enable, and amplify intimate partner violence and to create communities where all Kentuckians can live and thrive in safety and peace. We advocate, by amplifying the voices of survivors of intimate partner violence through our policy work and legislative efforts. We support, by providing safe, affirming, trauma-informed care for survivors of intimate partner violence through its network of fifteen regional domestic violence shelters serving all 120 counties in Kentucky. We mobilize our members, partners, and the community. We educate, by providing training and technical assistance on intimate partner violence. We empower, by providing survivors of intimate partner violence with housing and financial support so that they can live independently from their abusive partners. And we believe. ZeroV is grounded in the belief that intimate partner violence is a form of power-based violence and is part of a systemic pattern of oppression. We believe that we cannot eliminate intimate partner violence until we change the cultural and social norms that allow and sanction it. We must act together if we are to cut the violence in our state to zero. We are Kentucky united against violence.
