Mariam was studying abroad when she was sexually assaulted in Madrid. She was asleep in her bed in her apartment. The attack was very violent. Mariam called the police and the American Embassy. The Embassy referred Mariam to Pathways.
We helped Mariam navigate law enforcement response and medical treatment including a rape kit in Madrid. Fortunately Mariam speaks Spanish which helped her throughout the process.
We have provided ongoing case management and emotional support to Mariam. She decided to return home and not continue her study abroad program.
We want to thank donors like you. Your contributions enable us to help Americans like Mariam sexually assaulted abroad.
