Arizona SB 1070

“…we are concerned about the impact of SB 1070 on immigrant women trying to escape violent relationships. Immigrant women who are victims of violence need a range of services including screening and early access to benefits, the ability to work legally, immigration status of which they may be eligible and protection from detention and deportation. By deterring immigrant women from seeking help, SB 1070 would increase the risk of violence to them and their children, often with tragic consequences.”
