During 2014, Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa reported 301 maltreatment cases. In an effort to provide 24-hour support for victims of maltreatment, Domestic Abuse Victim Advocate services are now mandated by the Department of Defense, giving victims assistance through personal or telephonic contact. DAVA services include help in the areas of initial crisis response, support and system advocacy, education and training. ( Air Force graphic by Senior Airman Areca T. Wilson
