Empowerment-based Advocacy
Empowerment-based advocacy is survivor-focused. The needs of the survivor are essential and drive the relationship between survivor and advocate. It is not about informing the survivor what is best for them or assuming that because a survivor is in crisis mode, that they are incapable of making decisions. It is about valuing each woman's individuality and survival skills. It is accepting that each woman is an expert in her own life and assisting her in taking back control from the batterer. Empowerment not only an individual process that returns control to the survivor; it is also a political endeavor that invites survivors to assist other battered women in order to build a collective strength among all women.
