Women Aware announces the launch of a multi-language video series, Victims’ Rights: Understanding and Accessing the Protections Afforded by Law. This project is co-sponsored by the New Jersey State Bar Foundation and made possible through funding from the IOLTA Fund of the Bar of New Jersey. The first three videos in the series focus on non-fatal strangulation are available in English, Spanish, and Hindi, on Women Aware’s YouTube channel.

The 5 to 10-minute videos address non-fatal strangulation and legal options for victims. They feature attorneys and advocates from Women Aware, the lead domestic violence agency in Middlesex County.

Individuals seeking additional information can contact Women Aware’s 24-hour hotline at 732-249-4504 or toll-free at 833-249-4504 or walk into the Middlesex County Family Justice Center to speak with an advocate. The FJC is located at 100 Bayard Street, New Brunswick, and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The information provided in the videos is offered by attorneys and advocates who practice in various areas related to domestic violence, as well as some Women Aware staff. The material provided in these videos is for informational purposes only; it is not intended to take the place of legal advice provided by an individual’s attorney.  There is no attorney-client relationship created through these videos; Women Aware’s goal is to inform and educate the public, and to answer some frequently asked questions about a number of topics under the broad umbrella of domestic violence.
