Empowering Survivors: Legal Rights of Immigrant Victims of Sexual Assault

This manual seeks to explain the complex topics of immigration, family, public benefits and criminal law that are intended to assist immigrant survivors of sexual assault. The goal of this manual is to provide support and assistance to advocates and attorneys, arming them with the knowledge they need to confidently provide effective assistance to immigrant sexual assault victims and the immigrant community. Additionally, this text is being written to provide immigrant advocates, immigrant attorneys, and social service providers to immigrant communities with an understanding of general sexual assault dynamics and how these affect immigrant victims. These chapters and appendices may also be useful to advocates and attorneys working with immigrant victims of domestic violence, stalking, and human trafficking.
