Andy Moser and MWC staff recently met with Maya Raghu, policy and project attorney at Futures Without Violence. Futures Without Violence has created Workplaces Respond to Domestic and Sexual Violence: A National Resource Center - a website for employers seeking to develop effective workplace responses to victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, dating violence and stalking. Among its many offerings, the site provides a Model Workplace Policy for employers to adopt, training materials, statistics on domestic and sexual violence, and advice for supervisiors on how to broach the subject with possible victims.
As part of the project's outreach efforts, Maya and her colleagues are seeking opportunities to meet with groups of employers, workforce professionals, and human resource professionals to discuss the Workplaces Respond initiative. If you are interested, please call 202-595-7385. For a one-page description of the project, please click here.
