Reporting Human Rights Violations

Healthcare providers play a crucial role in advocating for the rights of patients. If you witness any human rights violations, such as mistreatment by ICE in clinical settings or the community, we encourage you to report these incidents. Your voice can help bring awareness to these issues and promote change for those affected.

​

We will continue adding resources as we learn about them

Detained Pregnant Women​

​

WRC's Pregnancy Tracker is now live and collecting de-identified data on pregnant and postpartum women in ICE detention. This tool is critical for documenting violations of the 2021 Pregnancy Directive and advocating for policy change. If you’ve seen a pregnant, postpartum, or nursing woman in immigration custody or recently released from custody, please let the Women's Refugee Commission know through their website. 


Contact ZainL@wrcommission.org with any questions. 


 

ImmDef Healthcare Form (CA)​


 

It is hosted by the legal advocacy group ImmDef and is Physician-lead. Collected stories will be going exclusively to the Attorney General who has requested further reporting on this issue. Stories will NOT be used for any other other purpose without the contributors explicit and separate consent; please fill out after EVERY encounter with detained patients. Hospital details to be included, without including name, date of birth, or other identifying information of patients. Please note anything that you think might have been a departure from providing the highest standard of care and upholding patient rights.

Health4All Coalition (CA)​


 

The Health4All coalition is advocating for health insurance coverage for all Californians regardless of immigration status. As part of this work, we are collecting stories from community members and healthcare providers around immigrant healthcare access. This will be useful for influencing state policymakers.

  • If you work for a community-based organization, would any of your community members consent to you sharing their story about healthcare access on their behalf?

  • If you are a healthcare provider, could you share your reflections on caring for immigrant patients who have gone — or may go — without health coverage, and how lack of coverage impacts their health?

If so, please fill out this story collection form. Of course, entries should not include any individual identifiers.
