Multilingual Access Project
The Multilingual Access Project (MAP) seeks to reduce the number
of, and tolerance to, domestic violence incidents in multi-ethnic and
immigrant communities, and to increase the responsiveness of mainstream
communities to battered women and families.
MAP accomplishes this effort through cultural and linguistically appropriate outreach, education collaboration and advocacy.
This project was initiated by the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
Prevention Division of the City of Seattle's Human Services Department.
This website has links to flyers in each language, and contact information.
Refugee Woman's Alliance
The Refugee Women's Alliance is a nonprofit, multi-ethnic organization
that promotes inclusion, independence, personal leadership and strong
communities by providing refugee and immigrant women and families with
culturally appropriate services. ReWA's bilingual/bicultural domestic violence advocates work with
refugee and immigrant women to help them apply for protection orders,
develop safety plans, access safe shelters, understand and navigate the
legal system, and advocate for basic needs and services.
