This document discusses resources for addressing domestic violence in later life (DVLL) and elder abuse. It introduces the Take Back Your Life project, which created an online "Solution Center" resource directory to raise awareness and help faith and community leaders assist older victims. Focus groups identified top concerns like stigma, lack of information, and limited resources. The Solution Center provides a searchable database of agencies and materials to train leaders. It aims to expand assistance and empower older adults to seek help for abuse.

Empowering Adolescent Girls in India an OverviewDasra
Adolescent girls in India are a large invisible population, amounting to 113 million, or 20% of the world’s adolescent girls, and are trapped in a society with socio-cultural practices and contrasting stages of development that leaves them powerless to make essential life-choices. Addressing the challenges facing the adolescent girl in India requires mobilizing the key influencers and influences in her life – at home, in school and at work – that can help realize her potential including self, peers, families, communities and institutions.

Prevention and Response To Gender-Based Violence in Lagos State [Standard Ope...OluwatobiOpadokun
SOPs describe the clear procedures and standards for all actors, outlining roles, responsibilities and present a working manual for those who agree to work together in pursuit of a common interest. SGBV SOPs are developed to assist in creating a coordinated multi-sectoral response, referral and prevention structure for persons at risk.
This SOP is as a one-stop document to provide the response guidelines and pathways for intervenors and other actors (individuals and organisations) respond-ing to GBV and who are known as service providers. It provides information about the proper channels for reporting cases, referrals and facilitating access to justice for survivors/victims of VAWG/SGBV/SRHR/HP in Lagos State. It delineates the roles, responsibilities and procedures for all actors for the best interest of victims/survivors

1. Elder Abuse and
Domestic Violence in
Later Life:
Innovative New Resources for the Community
Lisa Furr, MA and Adrienne Johnson, MS
2. the issues of domestic violence in later life (DVLL) and elder
abuse and their prevalence
the importance of the faith-based community’s response
the history and goals of the Take Back Your Life project
the features of the Take Back Your Life: DVLL Solution Center
how to utilize the Solution Center and its resources in your
community
what is happening nationally around these issues
OBJECTIVES
3. WHAT IS ELDER ABUSE?
Abuse, Neglect,
and/or
Exploitation of
an Elder or
Vulnerable
Adult
Includes
Self-
Neglect
Age 60
and Older
These cases may be handled by
Adult Protective Services (APS)
4. The Interrelationship between
Domestic Violence and Elder Abuse
Domestic
Violence
Abuse in
Later Life
Elder
Abuse
Created by National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life,
a project of the Wisconsin Coalition against Domestic Violence
5. Domestic
Violence in
the
Second
Half of Life
A pattern of
coercive control
and abuse of an
older person in a
trusted, ongoing
relationship
Primarily women,
but includes older
men
Basis is “power
and control”-
Age 50 and Older
6. • Women and men aged 50
and over who experience
DV are underserved
(older women often don’t
show up at shelters or DV
programs)…so even
experts believed that
violence dropped off as
people age
• To the contrary, Moulton et.
al. (2004) reported that
physical and verbal
abuse is occurring at
rates similar to or higher
than those for younger
women
• 3.7 per 1,000 older
women reported
becoming new victims of
verbal abuse
• 2007 VSDV Alliance
reported that 19% of the
adults served by DV
programs in VA were age
45-64, 1% over 65
(total=20%)

9. If a battered woman asks me
whether she should talk to her
faith leader or not, I usually say
“no” –
if she has to ask, then I doubt that
it is safe to go to that person.
I still have faith leaders say to me,
“but no one ever comes to me with this problem.”
CONCLUSION:
we don’t have domestic
violence in our faith
community.
FURTHER CONCLUSION:
I don’t need to be trained to deal
with a problem we don’t have.
