Ensuring Access to Services for Immigrant Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

WHEN: October 30th, 2019 at 2:00pm EST

DESCRIPTION: This webinar is designed for advocates who provide direct services to immigrant survivors of gender-based violence. Recent policy shifts -- both actual and perceived -- can impact an immigrant survivor’s willingness and ability to report abuse and seek services. This webinar will help advocates better understand the important protections available for immigrant survivors under VAWA and TVPA. Additionally, we will provide updates and discuss the implications of recent policy announcements, including the “public charge” rule and the HUD mixed-status rule, so that advocates can better safety-plan with immigrant survivors and help them know their rights and access services and support.
