The New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence Digital Safety Tips
Many survivors of domestic violence find themselves with criminal records. Often, this is due to coerced criminal acts experienced at the hands of their partner. Sometimes, it’s the result of a misguided criminal justice system response to their partner’s abuse (for example, a dual arrest). Regardless of the reason, survivors with criminal records face enormous challenges in accessing employment and economic security.
The Center for Survivor Agency & Justice has developed a reference tool for survivors with criminal records seeking employment. This guide gives survivors and advocates a better understanding of employment rights. It offers tips and resources available to survivors when they are seeking employment.
