The Introduction to this Toolkit describes how pregnant and parenting women and teens are affected by intimate partner violence, sexual assault and coercion, and reproductive coercion. It identifies the need for a “safety net” comprised of community partners working together to offer resources and referrals, and to address gaps in services.
