Immigrant Women Program (IWP)

The Immigrant Women Program (IWP) advocates for legal protections, social services and economic justice for immigrant women while reforming laws, policies and practices that may harm them.

• Leads national advocacy campaign that secures access to legal immigration status, benefits, and legal services for thousands of victims of violence against women and foreign fiancés.
  
• Conducts hundreds of trainings for attorneys, advocates, police, prosecutors and judges building skills and knowledge critical to immigrant women receiving legally correct, culturally competent assistance from professionals in their communities.
  
• Paves the way for immigrant women to acquire legal work authorization, housing, child/spousal support, and college loans enhancing economic security so that immigrant victims can escape abusive homes and employers.
