401 – Ann Lutz – From USAF to Engineers Against Domestic Violence

I welcomedUS Air Force Veteran, Ann Lutz to Oscar Mike Radio. Ann Lutz is a multifaceted advocate who draws on her experiences as a U.S. Air Force veteran, rocket scientist, and former Ms. New Mexico America’s Select Veteran. Ann introduces her advocacy platform, “Engineers Against Domestic Violence,” focusing on leveraging engineering solutions to combat domestic violence.

Ann discusses the complexity of domestic violence, categorizing it into six forms: physical, emotional, sexual, financial, psychological, and technological abuse. She emphasizes the necessity of recognizing these types to effectively support victims. Her insights extend into the realm of healthy relationships, underscoring the importance of mutual respect, trust, and communication.

Throughout the discussion, Ann offers practical advice for those in abusive situations, including the importance of identifying safe spaces, building a support network, accessing financial resources, and documenting incidents for legal actions. She stresses the critical role of accessible support systems and the National Domestic Violence Hotline for immediate assistance.

As an engineer, Ann explores how technology can aid in identifying and addressing domestic violence but insists on the balance with human intervention.

Ann’s journey from the Air Force to advocacy showcases her resilience and commitment to continuous learning and helping others. Her story is not just about combating domestic violence but also about inspiring change and fostering a supportive community through innovative solutions and heartfelt advocacy.

For assistance, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

Thank you, Ann, for your continued service!
