SHOW NOTES:
In this episode of Chicks Who Give a Hoot, Dr. Ludy Green joins me to discuss her trailblazing work supporting survivors through economic empowerment. As one of the world’s foremost experts on economic empowerment for victims, Dr. Green has dedicated over 20 years to empowering women through her human rights activism. She regularly speaks on the importance of financial autonomy in breaking patterns of abuse, and founded Second Chance Employment Services to provide survivors with job training and placement. We dive deep into how Dr. Ludy began over 30 years ago volunteering at a shelter, realizing the key to breaking free from abuse was financial independence.
