This webinar is the first in a two-part series for prosecutors that provides essential information to reduce barriers and promote the prosecution of cases involving domestic and sexual violence against people with disabilities.

In part 1, Olga Trujillo of Activating Change and Jonathan Kurland of AEquitas will explore the unique complexities of violence against people with disabilities and Deaf people, barriers to access to effective criminal justice responses for survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors, and opportunities for change. This webinar will provide foundational information for prosecutors, including a deeper dive into disability, unique dynamics of domestic and sexual violence in the lives of people with disabilities, and specific tactics used by abusers.
