(Dare to Use The F-Word, Episode 11)
In this episode of Dare to Use the F-Word, we interview Caritas Doha of Sakhi for South Asian Women about her work to help young women who immigrated to the U.S. as children apply for employment authorization under a new program called DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Caritas explores the unique vulnerabilities experienced by women and children who are undocumented immigrants and survivors of violence.
