Honored to be able to assist domestic violence survivors every day

*October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.*

For survivors, safety often depends on more than leaving. It means securing an order of protection, sorting out custody and housing, and facing an abuser in court.

Through the Civil Legal Aid appropriation in the state budget, the IEJF funds legal aid organizations across the state that provide survivors of domestic violence with free legal help.

No survivor should face the legal system alone.
