Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is an international Public Health, Social Justice, and Human Rights Issue.

The State Department in conjunction with the Columbia Council for Internationals requested a training from Sistercare for five professionals from Kosovo on the topic of domestic violence.   Professionals from the Republic of Kosovo included a judge, the executive director of a “Safe House,” the chief executive officer for gender equality, a state prosecutor, and a DV investigator/police officer.   The Director of Community Clinical & Educational Services invited some of the Sistercare staff to assist her in educating the visitors about our legal and court advocacy services, shelter services, and our adult and children’s trauma-informed clinical services.
