NIWAP, in partnership with the District of Columbia Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants, presented a virtual training on family law for Washington D.C.-based victim advocates (nonprofit or government agency), attorneys, and other professionals who encounter immigrant survivors in their work on a range of topics that affect immigrant survivors.
