The National Immigrant Women’s Advocacy Project (NIWAP, pronounced new-app) was formed to educate, train, offer technical assistance and public policy advocacy, and conduct research that will assist a wide range of professionals working at the Federal, State, and local levels who work with and/or whose work affects immigrant women and children. Our work is designed to promote the development, implementation, and use of laws, policies, and practices that benefit immigrant women and children. The National Women’s Advocacy Project (NIWAP) offers online learning through webinars, webcasting, and training modules. Along with our partner organizations, we facilitate trainings with experts to answer all your questions relating to immigrant crime victims.
This page includes a list of all NIWAP’s past webinars. They are organized by topic, and each page includes supplemental materials from our web library to complement each presentation and provide further clarification.
