Resource Library and Technical Assistance Center

Welcome

To further our vision of a society in which all women and girls are economically secure, empowered to make their own choices, and can live and work free of discrimination, this Resource Library and Technical Assistance Center provides timely information on a vast array of topics of interest to those working across the country to help victims of violence against immigrant women. Legal Momentum produces materials on a range of issues facing women and families.  This searchable library of resources is designed to be used by OVW grantees and other advocates, attorneys, judges and service providers.  The Technical Assistance section of this site provides OVW grantees and the general public access to questions frequently asked of Legal Momentum and an online Technical Assistance Request Form.

Legal Momentum, the nation's oldest women's legal defense and education fund, is dedicated to advancing the rights of all women and girls. Its Immigrant Women Program (IWP) is the nation's expert on the rights and services available to immigrant victims of domestic and other violence, sharing this expertise through training, comprehensive publications, and technical assistance for lawyers and advocates nationwide. IWP leads national advocacy efforts for legal protections, social services, and economic justice for immigrant women.
