Today, on the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), API-GBV joins our communities in celebrating the impact VAWA has had in supporting survivors of gender-based violence. VAWA has played a critical role in providing services for survivors from AA and NHPI communities, identifying and filling gaps in support, and strengthening our communities’ ability to reach out to those facing the highest barriers to safety. With the support provided by VAWA, AA and NHPI-serving advocates and community based organizations have been able to further provide for their communities and the unique needs of AA and NHPI and immigrant survivors. API-GBV commends VAWA for supporting survivors and helping us transform into a world free of gender-based violence.
