Domestic Violence in Immigrant Communities

11/18

Open to the public

SALSA, BLSA, LLSA, APALSA, and LWC are hosing a panel of attorneys and advocates from Apna
Ghar, Legal Assistance Foundation, and KAN-WIN to discuss the issue of domestic violence in immigrant communities.  We will address the work that these organizations do on behalf of domestic violence victims, and what is different about domestic violence in immigrant communities.  Panelists will discuss the role that cultural norms and immigration status play in domestic violence issues.  Additionally, we will discuss strategies to raise awareness about domestic violence in immigrant communities, and opportunities for students to get involved in advocacy.

Please join us in Room F on Wednesday, November 18 for lunch and the panel discussion.
