Project

Help Rescue 500 Battered Women And Their Children

Host Organization: Pathways to Safety International Portland, OR, United States http://www.pathwaystosafety.org

About

This project enables us to assist battered American women & their children globally.

Need

We serve American women & children living in foreign countries who are victims of domestic violence & child abuse, via an international crisis email. Crisis email advocates work with victims, empowering them to make the decisions necessary to live a life without violence for themselves & their children while navigating the complicated system that hinders them from fleeing the violence and returning home. When funds are available we offer counseling, relocation, housing, legal & emergency needs.

Long term impact

The project serves 500 women per year empowering them to find alternatives to a life of violence so their children grow up in violence free homes with their self-esteem in tact with the hope of stopping the cycle of violence in future generations.

About the Organization

Pathways to Safety International empowers victims of interpersonal & gender based violence abroad. Pathways undertakes the global challenge of assisting victims who are enduring extreme suffering in isolated situations where support seems minimal and many obstacles block the path to safety. Services are provided 24/7/365 via technology on a global scale to American victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and forced marriage. This is achieved via an international toll free crisis line, 833-SAFE-833, accessible from over 120 countries, serving a population estimated at 9 million American civilians living overseas, 80 million Americans traveling overseas, and the 450,000 American military personnel and their dependents.
