Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Hotline Web 866uswomen.org

In 2001, Paula Lucas started Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center
with help from a few small contributions from donors. In 2010, the Department of
Justice stepped up with substantial funding. With a toll-free hotline in 175
countries, now supports hundreds of American families in more than 67 countries
with counseling, travel assistance, legal services, and relocation costs. Today,
at least one family returns safely to the United States each month with Lucas's
help.

"We need to make women aware of the obstacles if they find themselves in an
abusive situation," says Lucas, now remarried. "I was one of the lucky ones."
