Immigrant Resource Library: National Latin@ Network

“The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) includes important protections for immigrant victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking. It is well known that abusers often use a victim’s lack of immigration status as a tactic of abuse – threatening to report them to ICE and have them deported. Similarly, it is extremely common for abusers to tell immigrant survivors that if they reach out for help from the police or the courts, then they will be arrested and separated from their families.

Blue Skies Listening Tour Summary Report

The Blue Skies Listening Tour was an opportunity for Partnership staff to truly listen to California communities, without imposing their own opinions or attempting to shape the conversations.

The name Blue Skies Listening Tour was meant to offer an imaginary backdrop on which participants could develop ideas about how to more fully and effectively address domestic violence in their own communities. The blue sky was an invitation to innovate without restrictions—without the need to consider the expectations of governments, funders, traditions, history, or habit.
