| Utah Legal Services would tell the a woman calling for legal
assistance that they could only help if the woman were willing
to make an allegation of abuse. Jane said she was amazed at how
often that within 5 or 10 minutes of referring women to Utah
Legal Services the women called back saying, I need to report
abuse on the part of my husband (or ex-husband, or boyfriend, or
ex-boyfriend). Legal Services and their associates should get
no public funding. |
| -Conduct seminars on the laws, rules and regulations, issuances and latest
jurisprudence on overseas employment for lawyers, members and para-legal
workers of these organizations. |
| The stepped-up campaign was waged following President Joseph Erap Ejercito
Estradas fresh crackdown on illegal recruiters in the light of the
suspected systematic murder of OFWs, whose organs are being sold by an
international syndicate in cahoots with unscrupulous Filipino recruiters. |
| -Render free legal assistance to qualified complaining workers or victims of
illegal recruitment who seek their services or are referred to them by the
POEA and the OWWA; |
| A friend of mine works for Utahs Division of Services for
Disabled Persons (DSPD). Theyre in the same suite as the
Division of Child and Family Service (DCFS). He says he has
absolutely no respect for the way the operate (biased,
illogical). One of his coworkers is a woman who, in her
own words, defected from DCFS because of what she sees
as unfair operating procedures. She (Ill call her Jane)
told my friend that when women called them asking for free
legal help, they were instructed to refer the women to Utah
Legal Services. |
