Court Interpreter Survey

Copy of Survey and Preliminary Report

Sakhi for South Asian Women conducted a national survey of 157 court interpreters from May 2007 to April 2008 as part of our longstanding effort to ensure equal access to justice in the court system—a key resource for immigrant survivors. The survey was crafted in 2006 in collaboration with Catherine Shugrue dos Santos of Sanctuary for Families, Susan Shah of the Vera Institute of Justice, former Sakhi Legal Advocate Saveen Kaushal, and members of the Justice Speaks Initiative, a coalition which Sakhi co-chairs.

Below is a PDF link to the survey—now closed—which we conducted, as well as our preliminary report containing our key findings and recommendations.
