When a victim in an abusive relationship is pregnant or becomes pregnant, their risk of interpersonal violence intensifies. How the prosecution team responds to the victim and addresses issues of logistical accessibility, the impact of pregnancy, coercion, victim safety, and access to healthcare are essential. Please join us on September 8, 2026, at 3:00 pm (ET) for a live webinar that will provide an overview and recommendations for managing these important cases.
