About this facility
- Mission
- Sakhi for South Asian Survivors exists to represent the South Asian and Indo-Caribbean diaspora in a survivor-led movement for gender justice and to honor the collective and inherent power of all survivors of violence. Sakhi is a trailblazer – agile, and inclusive of all South Asians and Indo-Caribbeans regardless of identity. With the collective strength of survivor voices united for justice, we are shaping a world where gender-based violence has no place. Sakhi is committed to serving survivors through a combination of efforts including—but not limited to—culturally competent direct services such as a helpline, counseling, advocacy, housing assistance, economic empowerment, food justice, elder abuse intervention, and youth programs that honor the collective and inherent power of all survivors of violence.
