LEGISLATION
The SAFE For Survivors Act
September 19, 2024 - Murray, Dingell, and Moore Introduce the SAFE for Survivors Act to Provide Economic Security for Domestic Violence Survivors.
Senator Murray: “No survivor of domestic violence or sexual assault should be forced to choose between their safety and their paycheck, job, or ability to support their family.”
"The 2024 SAFE for Survivors Act allows victims to take time off from work without fear of penalty, requires that employers provide reasonable accommodations to assist survivors dealing with the aftermath of violence, provides access to unemployment benefits for survivors, and establishes insurance protections to support survivors–ensuring that victims are not punished for their abusers’ crimes.
According to the Domestic Violence Hotline, 44% of full-time employed adults in the US reported experiencing the effect of domestic violence in their workplace; 21% identified themselves as victims of intimate partner violence. Domestic violence issues lead to nearly 8 million lost days of paid work each year, the equivalent of over 32,000 full-time jobs."
