At Safe Horizon, we believe that our clients are the experts in their own lives. We offer support, information, and expertise so that each client can exercise his\/her right to make informed decisions and choose their own path. This survivor-defined practice<\/strong> is characterized by an emphasis on client choice, collaboration, and a sensitivity to the unique needs, risks, and resources of each individual.<\/p>\n

To understand whether survivor-defined practice contributes to safety-related empowerment among intimate partner violence survivors, Safe Horizon partnered with Dr. Lauren Cattaneo and Dr. Lisa Goodman to conduct a longitudinal study in Safe Horizon\u2019s Community Programs.<\/p>\n

The preliminary data consisted of 119 survivors of IPV seeking community-based services from Safe Horizon\u2019s Community Programs.\u00a0 The study focused on the first session between the survivor and the advocate.\u00a0 A pre-survey was conducted prior to the survivor meeting with the advocate and the post-survey was conducted immediately after the survivor completed his\/her first session with the advocate.<\/p>\n

Participants filled out MOVERS (Measure of Victim Empowerment Related to Safety; Goodman et al., 2014) before and immediately after the first session with the community-based advocate.\u00a0 MOVERS is a validated measure capturing the extent to which a survivor (a) has developed a set of safety-related goals and a belief in his\/her ability to accomplish them, (b) perceives that s\/he has the support s\/he needs to move toward safety, and (c) senses that his\/her actions toward safety will not cause new problems in other safety domains.\u00a0 The survivor-centeredness of the interaction was measured with the Survivor-Defined Practice Scale (SDPS; Goodman et al., 2016) which survivors completed immediately after the first session with a community-based advocate.\u00a0 The SDPS measures survivors\u2019 perception of the degree to which their advocates helped them achieve goals they set for themselves, facilitate a spirit of partnership, and show sensitivity to their individual needs and styles.<\/p>\n

The preliminary results showed that (1) Survivors who received services from this survivor-centered agency reported improved safety-related empowerment following one advocacy session; and (2) The more survivor-centered the advocacy, the greater the improvement in victim empowerment related to safety.<\/p>\n

This is the first study to examine the impact of survivor-centered practice with survivors of intimate partner violence over time.\u00a0 The preliminary data demonstrate that IPV survivors receiving one survivor-centered session with a community based advocate increases the survivor\u2019s sense of safety-related empowerment, and specifically increases the survivor\u2019s knowledge of community resources and options and increases the survivor\u2019s sense of confidence in increasing his\/her safety.\u00a0 This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of survivor-centered community-based advocacy and support.<\/p>\n

When Alejandra was old enough, she moved to the capital city to try and earn a better living for herself. There, she met Carlos. The two began dating and, at first, he was friendly, charming, and affectionate. Eventually, they moved in together and she became pregnant with their first child.\r\n\r\nAfter Alejandra became pregnant, Carlos became increasingly violent. After a particularly violent incident where Carlos strangled her, Alejandra knew that she would never be safe from Carlos\u2019 abuse. Having seen the Honduran\u2019s police unwillingness to get involved in family violence to protect her mother or her friend, who were also victims of violence, Alejandra knew she would have to flee in order to be safe.\r\n\r\nWhen Carlos learned through family that Alejandra was trying to flee to the United States, he brutally raped her, telling her \u201cshe was always his woman\u201d and that, \u201cno matter where she went, he would find her.\u201d Fearing for her life, Alejandra and her oldest child Asylee* left the very next day.\r\n\r\nAlejandra and Asylee\u2019s journey to the United States was both long and dangerous. They traveled on foot and by bus through Guatemala and Mexico. Often, Alejandra had only enough food and water to give Asylee. Once she reached the United States border, she told a customs and border patrol officer that she was afraid for her life to return to Honduras.\r\n\r\nSomeone who is afraid to return to their country of origin may be eligible for asylum in the United States, if their fear is based on past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution because of their race, religion, national original origin, membership in a social group, or political opinion, and if they can show their country is unwilling or unable to protect them. As a survivor of domestic and sexual violence, customs and border patrol permitted her entry into the United States so that she could request asylum before an Immigration Judge.\r\n

Connecting Alejandra to Supportive Services<\/h1>\r\nAlejandra traveled to New York City and was connected to a Bronx-based immigrant rights organization, who helped her find temporary shelter and connected her to the Safe Horizon\u2019s Immigration Law Project <\/a>(ILP). At ILP Alejandra met one of our warm, compassionate legal professionals named Kristen. Kristen guided Alejandra in filing an asylum petition. ILP provided Alejandra with full legal representation, helping her to prepare her asylum case, apply for a work authorization, and get connected to mental health and social services resources. After months of preparation, Alejandra went before an Immigration Judge at the New York Immigration Court, where she gave powerful testimony about the impact the physical violence and verbal abuse she suffered had on her life to this day. As a survivor of domestic violence, Alejandra told the Judge, \u201cI still have difficulty sleeping and concentrating. Sometimes I feel worthless and devalue my own self. His words are still inside me. I make an effort not to remember [all that I suffered], but [the words] are still there.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Immigration Judge granted her asylum, providing both Alejandra and Asylee* status and protection here in the United States. The very same day, Alejandra\u2019s work authorization card came in the mail, which meant Alejandra could work toward her dreams of saving enough money to rent an apartment, reuniting with her youngest child still in Honduras, and earning a college education. In one year, she will be able to apply for a green card.\r\n

As an Immigrant Survivor of Domestic Violence, Alejandra Encourages Others to Get Help<\/h1>\r\nSince her grant of asylum, Alejandra has felt more empowered and has worked hard to continue building a life for herself and her daughter here in the United States. She is proud of how far she has come and urges other immigrant survivors of domestic and sexual violence to seek help.\r\n\r\nAlejandra was one of the 1,191 clients that ILP provided full representation to in 2016. ILP is staffed with trained and experienced attorneys that advocate on behalf of immigrant survivors of crime, torture, or abuse in New York City. ILP\u2019s expert legal immigration knowledge contributes to assisting all victims of crime, regardless of their immigration status.\r\n\r\nSafe Horizon believes that all victims of violence or abuse, including domestic violence, should be able to seek justice without fear because of their immigration status. You can help ensure that all victims of violence can seek justice by signing our pledge here.<\/a>\r\n\r\n\"Pledge\"<\/a>\r\n\r\n* Client names and identifying information have been changed to protect their privacy.
