Northern Virginia has been a haven for immigrants and refugees. Among those helped last year at NVFS’ Multicultural Center:
67 were seeking asylum
79 were victims of torture
217 were survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault
21 were victims of human trafficking
More than half were women and children with few connections and even fewer resources. The needs of immigrant and refugee survivors of trauma are complex. The answers, even more so.
P.P.S. Donating now through our special ‘A Community Thrives’ challenge page will open up opportunities for more funding. All funds raised through the A Community Thrives platform now thru August 12 will directly support our immigrant resiliency efforts. For more information, please click here.
