Economic abuse is a form of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional social service providers are mandated reporters, legally obligated to report any child endangerment, Tate said. If a survivor reports domestic violence and children were present to witness the abuse, there’s a chance the children could be removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of taking the risk, some survivors would choose to stay silent, hoping the abuse would stop or the person causing harm would leave, she said. Fear of social ostracization and judgment from the community also discourages survivors from seeking help, Tate said. Although awareness of domestic violence has grown, pressure remains for those living through abuse to keep their experiences quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tate, some survivors are discouraged from sharing what is considered a personal matter with neighbors and family outside the home, adhering to a “no snitch rule,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tunisia Owens, a policy expert and organizer in Oakland, said it can be difficult for survivors to speak out if they feel their community won’t support them. She pointed to church leaders who encourage women to submit to their husbands or reject divorce, which can isolate survivors. Owens also noted that Black men experiencing domestic violence often stay silent out of fear and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are oftentimes reluctant to get out of relationships that are abusive or violent because they have been conditioned to believe that you have to stay till death do us part,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An alternative approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, several nonprofit organizations are offering survivors non-carceral alternatives to address domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colzaria Henderson, executive director of the San José-based nonprofit Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, said the organization operates entirely outside of “the system.” Next Door Solutions does not provide information to law enforcement or child welfare agencies, and its staff are not mandated reporters, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next Door Solutions is an option for folks that do not want to call law enforcement,” Henderson said. “Most of the survivors we serve are in Black and brown communities, communities of color.

In 2010, she co-founded the Anti Police-Terror Project to address police violence in Black communities.

Early outreach by the Anti Police-Terror Project focused on connecting with survivors in the community and offering safe, supportive spaces to speak openly about their trauma — without involving law enforcement or other agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most important part is making sure survivors have agency, Brooks added. Whether someone is ready to leave the person causing harm or just beginning to take the first steps toward healing, the priority is ensuring they feel safe, supported and in control of their choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shame women as if it’s their fault.

They may also be concerned about what law enforcement could do to their partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation becomes more complicated when survivors rely on their abusers for financial support or when children are involved, she noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Corrin was 36 and heavily pregnant with her daughter when her husband abandoned her. After going into preterm labor and enduring a difficult birth, she was bedridden for months in their Piedmont home, barely able to fend for herself. Her family and friends lived across the country, and she stayed silent, hoping her marriage would survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When her husband returned, the situation worsened. The house where Corrin was raising her daughter was in shambles — mold grew on the walls, the roof leaked — and he refused to help while she cared for their child. She had nowhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 71, Corrin said it took her a long time to realize her husband’s behavior was abusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12053782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12053782 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many clients hesitate to share their experiences because their mistrust of the system is greater than their fear of the abuser. \u003ccite>(Jacob Wackerhausen/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I made a decision not to make it public because I was hoping that the relationship could continue and go back to what it originally was,” she said. “That’s not what happened. I just kept it to myself, and eventually people realized he wasn’t there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was financial abuse, Corrin said, but she didn’t know whom she could trust without risking herself or her child. Economic abuse is a form of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional social service providers are mandated reporters, legally obligated to report any child endangerment, Tate said. If a survivor reports domestic violence and children were present to witness the abuse, there’s a chance the children could be removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of taking the risk, some survivors would choose to stay silent, hoping the abuse would stop or the person causing harm would leave, she said. Fear of social ostracization and judgment from the community also discourages survivors from seeking help, Tate said. Although awareness of domestic violence has grown, pressure remains for those living through abuse to keep their experiences quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tate, some survivors are discouraged from sharing what is considered a personal matter with neighbors and family outside the home, adhering to a “no snitch rule,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tunisia Owens, a policy expert and organizer in Oakland, said it can be difficult for survivors to speak out if they feel their community won’t support them. She pointed to church leaders who encourage women to submit to their husbands or reject divorce, which can isolate survivors. Owens also noted that Black men experiencing domestic violence often stay silent out of fear and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are oftentimes reluctant to get out of relationships that are abusive or violent because they have been conditioned to believe that you have to stay till death do us part,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An alternative approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, several nonprofit organizations are offering survivors non-carceral alternatives to address domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colzaria Henderson, executive director of the San José-based nonprofit Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, said the organization operates entirely outside of “the system.” Next Door Solutions does not provide information to law enforcement or child welfare agencies, and its staff are not mandated reporters, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next Door Solutions is an option for folks that do not want to call law enforcement,” Henderson said. “Most of the survivors we serve are in Black and brown communities, communities of color. They can receive services and safety planning, and we can even help them get a restraining order outside of the criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12017718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12017718 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1920x1279.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Systems aren’t always built for Black and brown folks.

In 2010, she co-founded the Anti Police-Terror Project to address police violence in Black communities. Through her advocacy work — and the support she found in the men and women around her — she began to heal from the trauma of her first marriage and the abuse that occurred in her second marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing domestic violence became a cornerstone of her organization’s on-the-ground work, Brooks said. Early outreach by the Anti Police-Terror Project focused on connecting with survivors in the community and offering safe, supportive spaces to speak openly about their trauma — without involving law enforcement or other agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most important part is making sure survivors have agency, Brooks added. Whether someone is ready to leave the person causing harm or just beginning to take the first steps toward healing, the priority is ensuring they feel safe, supported and in control of their choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shame women as if it’s their fault. We shame them as if they were stupid for staying or for not knowing that he was violent,” Brooks said. “I want to break the cycle, because shame kills women. Shame keeps women from talking.
