These free presentations will be held in Mumbai & Delhi India and Shanghai, China in the spring of 2010 and are open to the public. Please see the link to RSVP below.
The information session will be from 9am to 12noon. A member of AODVC will present on the services the organization has available to Americans experiencing domestic violence overseas, and an American Embassy or Consulate member will present on what they can do to assist victims in their region.
