Without a doubt, the past two years have been challenging for all of us. The pandemic has changed the way we work, how we live, how our children go to school, kept us in isolation and often plunged us into financial hardship.
For battered American women & children abroad isolation at home with the abuser, abuse has increased an estimated 20%-50%. Providing support is challenging with many abusers working from home. The majority of support is being conducted via email.
Despite all the obstacles, because of donations like yours, we have still had some good outcomes this year. Pathways advocates are still available via email and we have successfully assisted victims 78 victims with safety planning, resources and logistics to be able to escape. But most are still stuck abroad, and we will continue to do what we can to support them.
As the pandemic comes to an end, in 2022 we expect a surge in victims reaching out, desperate to come back home. As always, Pathways will provide assistance to the best of our ability.
Thank you and we wish you and your families happiness, health and prosperity as we enter a New Year.
