Employment and Housing Rights for Victims of Domestic Violence

One in three women in the United States are or will be victims of domestic violence.  But unless those victims are economically self-sufficient, it is less likely they will be able to leave an abusive situation.  All too often though, domestic violence (as well as sexual assault and stalking) can jeopardize a victim's ability to keep and maintain a job and housing, because of discrimination and fear.
 
We use targeted litigation, legislative advocacy, and training to protect victims from employment and housing discrimination and to help employers, unions and landlords understand how they can assist victims keep their jobs or housing and stay safe.
