The Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center will be hosting an information session in Belmopan during the second week of December as part of our "Global Campaign to Empower Americans Abused Abroad." A member of AODVC will present on the barriers faced by victims of domestic violence as well as the services the organization has available to Americans experiencing domestic violence overseas. Also, a consular officer from the American Embassy will present on what the Embassy can do to help Americans experiencing domestic violence in Belmopan.

For all event-related questions, please contact Rachel Petersen at [email protected]. To find out more about the Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center, please visit our website at www.866uswomen.org.
