No Refuge Here: Sexual Abuse in Immigration Detention
In “No Refuge Here: Sexual Abuse in Immigration Detention,” expert presenters look at the unique vulnerabilities of immigrant detainees — and the obstacles they face to getting help.
The session gives an overview of the U.S.’s rapidly growing immigration detention system, covering its complex array of agencies and facilities and the pending Department of Homeland Security standards to eliminate the sexual abuse of detainees. The webinar features talks by a community advocate and a survivor of sexual abuse in immigration detention. These perspectives help shed light on the specific needs of survivors of this abuse and the ways advocates can get them help.
