- Pathways in Prevention: A Roadmap for
Change
- Everyone has a role: We invite
you to identify where your contribution to a safe and violence free
Ohio can be made. Drawing upon the rich diversity of Ohio’s
population that includes culture, ethnicity, race, religion, age,
socio-economic status, ability, sexual orientation, gender and gender
identity, each of us has a role in bringing to reality the vision
of this plan. The elimination of gender inequality and other systemic
oppression are an integral part of sexual and intimate partner violence
prevention work. Our ultimate goal is to achieve human rights and
social justice for all Ohioans. Our task requires that Ohio’s
plan challenges the flawed social norms and raises the consciousness
to achieve this vision of social justice and human rights. The authors
of and contributors to this plan invite you to accept this as a call
to individual and collective action. We invite you to read this plan,
its goals, outcomes and actions and become involved with our efforts
at the local, organizational, and/or state levels.

The Ohio Domestic Violence Network was founded in 1988 by a coalition
of programs in Ohio which serve battered women and their children. The
Network organized out of the need to provide coordinated services to improve
public understanding of domestic violence. In 1989 the Ohio Domestic Violence
Network was incorporated as a nonprofit membership organization. |
