S4E13: Maitri's Immigration Assistance Program Uplifts Survivors

Immigration status based on marital relationships often creates barriers for a victim and survivor of domestic violence to address the abuse. Yet there are rights and resources available for individuals in those situations and many opportunities to advocate for policies focused on immigration reform. In this episode, we hear about Maitri's immigration assistance program observing its 12 years in existence and important lessons learnt throughout the process. This project was made possible by funding provided by the County of Santa Clara Office of Gender-Based Violence Prevention.
