Re: Fwd: Domestic violence workshop

[Guest guest]

You might want to check out the Migrant Clinicians Network website

(www.migrantclinician.org) for basic information about legal remedies for

domestic violence. MCN's manual " Addressing Domestic Violence in a Clinical

Setting " has a chapter on legal remedies, and the entire manual can be

downloaded on the website. The chapter will provide a good general overview

of the legal remedies, but beware- they are very complicated! You also might

want to check out the Family Violence Prevention Fund program for Immigrant

Women (their website is www.endabuse.org). They provide great information as

well.

Good luck!

Hello,

I have found the manuals published by the Violence Against Women Office at the

Office of Justice to be the most useful resources in this matter. They are

extremely comprehensive. I don't know if they only give them to grantees. If

this is the case, I have copies and can somehow get the info to you. They are

titled, " 8th Annual Meeting of the National Network to End Violence Against

Immigrant Women Conference Materials " and Training for VAWO Grantees The Legal

Rights of Immigrant Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. " The

Office of Justice Phone Number is 202-514-9675. It's one of those lists you

have to listen to before you get to speak to a real person : ). The materials

are definitely worth the wait.
