add to cart   close window

This article focuses on domestic violence women victims who are abused by their partners during their efforts to fight poverty. The most comprehensive study to date conducted by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy found that 60 percent of women on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (A.F.D.C.) said they had been physically abused by their boyfriend or spouse at some point. As the welfare "reform" goes into effect and A.F.D.C. is abolished, domestic violence victims will be among those hardest hit.
