Pennsylvania Family Violence Task Force

At the invitation of then-Pennsylvania Attorney General D. Michael Fisher in 1998, the WLP served on a statewide Family Violence Task Force to create a comprehensive road map countering family violence. The WLP reviewed employment issues and helped write a report on the relationship between employment and domestic violence. In response to individual calls, the WLP has done work to determine how existing law can be used and revised to help domestic violence victims in retaining employment.
