VAWA and U-Visas Questions and Answers
Can I call the police if I am being sexually or physically abused and do not know my immigration status? You can call 911 in case of emergency. Domestic and sexual violence are crimes regardless of your legal status. You have the legal right to keep your immigration status private. You do not have to tell the police or a shelter what your immigration status is.

Project ENVISION The Alliance, in conjunction with 11 of NYC’s rape crisis programs, is implementing a six-year citywide project to prevent sexual violence. The goal of Project ENVISION is to change the social norms that promote and permit sexual violence in NYC so that we ultimately see a reduction in perpetration of sexual violence. One approach to implementing such multi-level change is community mobilization. Community mobilization refers to the organization of communities for the purpose of developing and implementing programs that are tailored to prevent a specific issue. The success of this project hinges on bringing together various segments or sectors of each of the communities involved in the demonstration project so that they can work together to analyze the causes and effects of sexual violence within their own community and pool resources to design and take action.
