The American Bar Association will present a webinar on “It Affects Lawyers, Too: Preventing & Addressing Bias Against Victims of DV, Sexual Assault, & Stalking” Wednesday, September 9, from 2 to 4 p.m.
Many attorneys are victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSAS); however, as a profession, attorneys do not talk about this reality very much.
The webinar’s panelists will describe the individual and structural bias DVSAS victims/survivors encounter in the workplace, state and federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination against employees who are victims/survivors and protecting these employees’ access to safe leave and reasonable accommodations, and proactive steps managers and human resources specialists can take to prevent structural and individual bias against, and provide support to, employees experiencing DVSAS.
As a result of attending this program, participants will be better able to:
• Describe how domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSAS) may affect an attorney’s worklife and workplace;
• Identify state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination against employees experiencing DVSAS and protecting these employees’ access to leave and reasonable accommodations; and
• Design a program to prevent and address individual and structural bias against employees who are DVSAS victims/survivors and provide support to DVSAS-affected employees.
Cost for the webinar is $130. To register, visit www.americanbar.org and click on “events.”
