Testimonials

“I used The VAWA Manual for a 21-year-old client whose father was the abuser, and did not apply for her. Within two minutes, I was able to find exactly what I needed that perfectly matched her circumstances. This manual is clear, concise and presented in a comprehensible style. There was a very favorable outcome for my client, and I’m thankful that I had this resource from the ILRC to guide me through the process.”

"After participating in an ILRC VAWA webinar earlier this year, I wanted to have a more detailed reference guide to deepen my understanding of the similarities and differences between VAWA and U Visa eligibility, benefits and processes. I purchased the VAWA Manual and have found it to be very helpful in this regard."
