| | | Journey to Safety
Journey to Safety is an artistic stage presentation of the challenges facing battered refugee and immigrant women when negotiating legal, medical and government systems. The performance by Pangea World Theater is based on a 2004 report issued by The Advocates for Human Rights. In order to access services and protection, battered refugee and immigrant women must overcome obstacles such as language barriers, fear of deportation, and community pressures. Pangea World Theater and The Advocates for Human Rights have collaborated to create a training designed for government agencies, educational institutions, and civic groups. Following each performance by Pangea actors, a moderator from The Advocates for Human Rights will comment on barriers faced by immigrant women and will suggest ways to improve our community's response to domestic violence in immigrant communities. For more information or to book a training, click here.
The Advocates for Human Rights and Pangea World Theater also created the Journey to Safety Video and Facilitators Guide to allow a wider audience access to this important and effective learning tool, the goals of which are 1) to raise awareness of the barriers to services faced by battered immigrant victims of domestic violence; 2) to stimulate the creation of strategies to overcome these barriers to safety, and 3) to provide resources and materials to assist individuals and organizations in implementing effective change.
