Domestic violence and homelessness are linked issues, and we cannot solve one without addressing the other. This Thursday at 12 pm PST The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) is hosting a webinar where researchers and lived expertise advisory board members from UCSF Benioff Homelessness & Housing Initiative will share findings from the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness. Our CEO Debbie Chang along with the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will discuss the research and policy recommendations.

A recent report from Malwarebytes titled "What's Mine is Yours: How Couples Share an All-Access Pass to their Digital Lives" highlights how digital sharing is common among couples, with 85% of people in committed relationships granting their partners access to personal accounts. Our #SafetyNet team advised on the survey and report. We believe that privacy is deeply connected to safety, especially for survivors of abuse. This report highlights the critical need for all of us to examine norms around privacy as they exist within intimate relationships, as well as the need for tools that allow us to easily disentangle ourselves from shared accounts. While sharing account access or information can be useful, consent should remain at the core of these decisions. It should be a person’s decision to share, and no one should feel pressured into allowing access to their digital lives. Read more:
