Anti-violence program: sakhi creates a safe place for south

Anti-violence program: sakhi creates a safe place for south asian survivors who have experienced abuse. We affirmatively support all survivors of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions, sexualities, castes, or any other identity markers. We offer a full range of culturally-sensitive, linguistically-appropriate services including: crisis response, safety-planning, and ongoing emotional support; accompaniments, translation assistance and advocacy in court, during healthcare visits, and at public benefits and welfare agencies; weekly support groups; connections to counseling, low-cost or free health consultations and exams, public benefits, and shelter and/or housing. Each year, sakhi's advocates support over 450 south asian survivors of gender-based violence and their families with intensive one-on-one support and field more than 2,000 calls on our helpline

Mission

Part 1: sakhi for south asian women's mission is to represent the south asian diaspora in a survivor-led movement for gender justice and to honor the collective and inherent power of all survivors of violence. We unite survivors, communities, and institutions to eradicate domestic and sexual violence and work together to create strong and healthy communities. Founded in 1989, sakhi was the first organization to break the silence surrounding gender-based violence within New York city's large south asian immigrant population.
