Living in Silence
Gender-Based Violence in the Immigrant Community
In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, please join us for a brief film screening and a simulation game on current gender-based violence issues affecting immigrant communities. Immigrant women are far more likely to fall victim to employment and intimate partner violence compared to the American-born population. Come experience what it is like to be an immigrant battered woman while learning about how this population is especially vulnerable compared to American born women.
