Our mission

Sakhi for South Asian Women exists to end violence against women. We unite survivors, communities, and institutions to eradicate domestic violence as we work together to create strong and healthy communities. Sakhi uses an integrated approach that combines support and empowerment through service delivery, community engagement, advocacy, and policy initiatives.

What we do

Sakhi structured its programming to follow a two-pronged approach in addressing domestic violence within the South Asian community:

1. We create a safe place with a full range of culturally-sensitive, language-specific information, support, services, and advocacy for South Asian women facing abuse in their lives; and,

2. We work to inform, actively engage, and mobilize the South Asian community in the movement to end violence against women forever.

Our programs include Domestic Violence, Economic Empowerment, Community Engagement, and Youth.
