What can I do?

Learn about Domestic Violence and Asian Family Issues
Domestic violence includes mental, emotional, verbal or physical abuse such as constant demeaning and humiliating remarks, threats, slapping, kicking, choking, destroying property, economic deprivation, forced sexual activity, isolation and starvation.   It is against the law to hit or abuse another person.  Inform others about it and our services.

Be Supportive of Victims
Convince the victim that domestic violence is never her/his fault. The abuser chooses to react by being abusive. Help the victim make informed choices to protect her/himself and the children. Children who live with domestic violence are 300% more likely to become abusers or victims.

Help Abusers Get into an Accredited Group Counseling Program for Abusers.

Schedule Apna Ghar Community Educators
Presentations and trainings are available for businesses, health care institutions, social service agencies, schools and colleges, police and legal staff, and religious, civic and neighborhood organizations.  Be effective in dealing with domestic violence in general and from an Asian point of view.
