The National Immigrant Women’s Advocacy Project at American University Washington College of Law is conducting a survey designed to learn about barriers that may prevent foreign-born, immigrant, and limited English proficient victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking from seeking justice system (police, prosecutors, courts) and social services assistance. We are seeking your assistance in helping us collect information from police, prosecutors, judges, court staff, victim advocates, attorneys, and others serving immigrant victims in communities across the country. The data we will collect in this survey will provide valuable information that will assist in the development of training, materials, and tools that will promote greater access to justice for immigrant crime victims. The survey results will also support advocacy to implement the protections for immigrant victims created by the Violence Against Women Act and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act over the course of the past decades.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the surveys linked below and for helping us by forwarding this survey to those you work with in your communities and nationally who encounter immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, stalking, and child abuse in their work. Your help in forwarding this survey to judges, court staff, police, and prosecutors will be particularly appreciated.
