Free Legal Information for DV Survivors

Last week, Project Kesher Belarus held a seminar for activists to learn about the legal rights and procedures available to survivors of domestic violence. Participants learned from lawyer Yulia Pankova about protection orders and how to file for them, actions to take if there are children in the family, how to find the right lawyer, and other ways victims can receive the help they need. This topic is as important as ever now, as the pandemic has led to a spike in domestic violence cases around the world. The information and video of the program is available to the public via PKB's social media channels, and the PK leaders in attendance are now ambassadors of this information for their communities, allowing the content to live way beyond the "four walls" of the Zoom lecture.
