Pathways to Safety International

Pathways serves survivors of interpersonal and gender based violence coming from military backgrounds. Overseas military victims can face many obstacles in reporting abuse. Whether Dependent, Active Duty or Retired, often times it is unclear as to what services the military can provide and with what consequence to either abuser (many survivors are concerned of this) or to the income that the dependents receive. The process in reporting sexual violence in the military is a significantly different process than in the civilian world and can be significantly impacted based on the country where the survivor is stationed. Pathways works closely with the Family Advocacy Program to assist survivors in making informed choices regarding reporting, and to connect with resources.

Family Advocacy Program: DoD

The Department of Defense is committed to addressing and ending domestic abuse. The Family Advocacy Program works to prevent abuse by offering programs to put a stop to domestic abuse before it starts. When abuse does occur, the FAP works to ensure the safety of victims and helps military families overcome the effects of violence and change destructive behavior patterns. FAP staff members are trained to respond to incidents of abuse and neglect, support victims, and offer prevention and treatment.
