| | , the Human Resources Global |
| | Mobility (HRSGM) invites you to a |
| Wednesday, October 29, | panel discussion sponsored by The |
| 2008 | World Bank, International |
| 12:00 - 2:00 PM | Monetary Fund, and Inter-American |
| | Development Bank. Madeleine K. |

| Washington, DC | As a follow up to this series, |
| | please join a distinguished group |
| | of experts for a panel discussion |
| | entitled, "What You May Not |
| | Know." We have all heard someone |
| | say, "That does not happen in MY |
| | community!" In fact, domestic |
| | violence exists in all |
| | communities regardless of race, |
| | age, socioeconomic status, |
| | national origin, gender, religion |
| | or educational background. It |
| | impacts all of us, to a |
| | surprising degree. In our |
| | international organizations, |
| | several factors, such as language |
| | skills, cultural traditions, |
| | legal status, and lack of |
| | information, are barriers to |
| | seeking help. Please join us at |
| | this event and learn what |
| | domestic abuse is, how it affects |
| | families, and basic legal options |
| | for addressing it. Panelists will |
| | also address the unique |
| | challenges faced by staff and |
| | family members from international |
| | organizations. |
