Global Empowerment Campaign

Dear Friends and Supporters of AODVC,

During the first 6 months of 2012, the Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center has helped 254 survivors of domestic violence. We have received 1,101 crisis communications from 44 countries worldwide and provided the following services:

• 7 Danger to Safety Relocations
• 14 Legal Consultations
• 3 Legal Retainers
• 6 Counseling Services
• 13 Emergency Assistance and Basic Needs

We received the following quote from Sally who was living in Uzbekistan,

“I was fearful for my life on a daily basis. I never thought I would be able to escape the horrific abuse until I called the Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center. Because of them, I was able to escape and I am now living a life free from violence.”

It was because of your support that we were able to help Sally and the 253 other victims that contacted us this year. Thank you for your donations!

Dear Friends,

As Mother’s Day is fast approaching, let’s take a moment to honor all the mothers in world. They give life, love, and support. One of the biggest crimes against humanity is abusing these incredible women. This Mother’s Day, please make a donation to mothers that are victims of domestic violence worldwide.

Since January 1, 2012, AODVC received 589 crisis calls and helped 77 mothers in violent and dangerous situations, providing case management, safety planning, danger to safety relocations, counseling, and legal assistance. Your donation can help a mother escape from violence overseas and rebuild her life, and the lives of her children, in a healthy, happy environment.

AODVC's Lead Case Manager received the following in an email from a victim in Rome, 

“Thank you so much for all your help in my escape with my children. We would never have been able to leave without your thorough safety plan and legal assistance."

Please give to a mother and children who are victims of domestic violence. Your donation will make a difference.
