The Legal Network for Gender Equity and TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund hosted a webinar on “Representing Workers at the Intersections of Immigration and Sex Harassment” on Monday, January 10, 2022.
The webinar addressed strategies for effectively representing individuals who are both dealing with the implications of immigration and facing workplace sex harassment. It also covered the basics of seeking immigration relief for victims of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and human trafficking; strategies for effectively representing immigrants and undocumented survivors of workplace sex harassment, including by crafting appropriate settlements and preparing for bias in juries and judges; and identifying and securing supportive services for immigrants dealing with sex harassment and other sexual violence.
