STOP Victimizing Immigrant Survivors of Domestic Violence

STOP Victimizing Immigrant Survivors of Domestic Violence

The Issue

H.R. 4970 rolls back current law and eliminates important provisions. It denies services to many victims of domestic violence. H.R. 4970 rolls back current law on confidentiality, making it more risky for immigrant victims to seek help from the police and thus imperiling their safety and survival. The bill is an outright attack on immigrant survivors of violence/abuse, the majority being women and children. This bill, essentially, gives more power to the abuser
