For Angie's college graduation, her grandmother who raised her gave her money with the promise that Angie would use it to travel abroad for 3 months. Angie was ecstatic! She left for her big adventure in early September after working over the summer.
Two months into Angie's trip she was drugged and sexually assaulted while in India. When Angie called us she was alone, terrified and afraid to tell her grandmother. We helped Angie with crisis intervention including medical and law enforcement response.
Angie decided to continue her trip and we have provided ongoing support and counseling to her on her journey. Angie will be coming home next week.
It is because of donors like you that we can help young people who identify in the LGBTQ community when they are sexually assaulted abroad. Thank you!
