Victims' Economic Security and Safety Act

The Victims' Economic Security and Safety Act (H.R. 2670) aims to provide legal and financial protections for employees who are survivors of domestic or sexual violence. The bill would allow workers to take emergency leave to address safety or legal needs without losing their jobs and would prevent employers from discriminating against individuals based on their status as victims. Additionally, it would ensure that survivors remain eligible for unemployment benefits if they are forced to leave a job due to violence and would prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage based on a history of abuse.
