Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webinar, Leslie Orloff and Rafaela Rodriguez from the National Immigrant Women's Advocacy Project discuss the legal rights of immigrant survivors of sexual and domestic violence. They explain that immigrant survivors often face challenges in accessing healthcare, public benefits, and family law protections. However, they highlight that there are laws in place to protect immigrant survivors and provide them with legal remedies. They emphasize that healthcare professionals, such as forensic nurses, play a vital role in supporting immigrant survivors. They can help increase knowledge about immigrant survivors' legal rights, including access to healthcare, public benefits, and family law protections. They also explain that there are various forms of immigration relief available to immigrant survivors, such as U visas, T visas, VAWA self-petitions, and SIJS. These immigration reliefs can help survivors access healthcare, public benefits, and legal protections. They provide a comprehensive overview of the different benefits available to immigrant survivors based on their immigration status. They also discuss the importance of protection orders and custody rights for immigrant survivors and highlight that immigration status should not affect an individual's ability to obtain these legal protections. They conclude by providing resources and contact information for further assistance.
