Supporting abused women by Sarah Ames, Aug 21, 2008 (6:28pm)

The financial impact of violence against women is often unacknowledged. SAFE Act is the first step in addressing the devastating impact abuse has on women’s financial security and ability to maintain their jobs. This bill would allow abused women to seek help and time off without fear of losing their job. While there may be concern from employers that this bill could be costly, the amount lost annually from fired abused women is astronomical. Thus this bill is both ethical and practical in nature and should be passed.
