It is estimated that nearly one in three women in the United States will be a victim of domestic violence during her lifetime. In many cases, the impact of that violence spills into the workplace, where a victim of domestic violence may encounter new problems stemming from lost work time, discrimination, and even further threats from her tormentor. A web of federal and state laws have developed to deal with these issues, but practitioners don't always understand how they relate to the domestic violence victim's underlying case. This audio program will explain how workplace laws can be used to make a domestic violence victim's life a little bit easier.
