This presentation was delivered as the Keynote at the Advocacy in Action Conference. This keynote address discusses the dynamics of domestic and sexual violence and child abuse experienced by immigrant adults and children and the important role of language access in serving limited English proficient victims. An overview of immigration relief available to immigrant victims and current and newly released Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policies and priorities regarding crime victim protection were highlighted. These policies affect best practices for safety planning in work with immigrant survivors and impact case planning in victims’ family court cases.
