Survey: Barriers Faced Seeking Assistance Following Assault

 

The National Immigrant Women’s Advocacy Project at American University Washington College of Law is conducting a survey designed to learn about the barriers that may prevent foreign-born, immigrant, and limited English proficient victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking from seeking assistance and protections through the criminal justice system (police, prosecutors, courts) and from seeking social services assistance.

NIWAP has designed several surveys, including ones for attorneys and advocates- https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AdvocatesAttorneysSurveyOct2017.
