Center for Court Innovation
In this podcast, host Juan Carlos Areán is joined by Mary Case, Manager of the Legal Advocacy Project for Survivors at the Los Angeles LGBT Center and Cat Shugrue dos Santos, Deputy Executive Director for Programs at the NYC Anti-Violence Project. They discuss the importance of applying an intersectional lens when intervening on intimate partner violence within LGBTQIA+ communities. They highlight the ways that oppression, discrimination, and bias perpetuate violence within the LGBTQIA+ community and the role addressing those collective traumas plays in the process of healing and accountability within abusive partner intervention programs.
