The Washington D.C. metro area is home to the largest Ethiopian population outside of Ethiopia itself. Many Ethiopian residents of Montgomery County Maryland speak Amharic.
Court Watch has produced business cards with info in Amharic on how to get help if you are the victim of domestic violence. More detailed information is available in a one page Amharic flyer. The materials direct those in need to the Family Justice Center during the day, and 24/7 to the Crisis Center. Victim advocates there will immediately get interpreters on the phone if no Amharic staff is available.
Court Watch is distributing these materials to medical clinics, service centers & community groups.
Email courtwatchmontgomery@gmail.com if your organization could use some of these materials!
