Domestic Violence In Spokane Recap: Pathways Forward

YWCA Spokane and Local Experts Chart Pathways Forward In A Talk About Domestic Violence in Spokane

Thank you to everyone who joined us for YWCA Spokane’s Pathways Forward roundtable event.

This year, YWCA Spokane launched our new Pathways Forward series to begin having progress-minded conversations as we enter the post-pandemic world. On October 27th, for our third Pathways Forward Roundtable, we hosted a discussion that brought together Domestic Violence Advocates from across Spokane to discuss what Domestic Violence is and what it looks like, how Covid-19 has impacted the Domestic Violence situation in Spokane, the barriers marginalized populations face when seeking services and safety, and more.

In a panel moderated by YWCA Spokane CEO, Jeanette Hauck, our panelists offer their perspectives on how to combat Domestic Violence in Spokane as well as what gives them hope for a better future in our city.
