The Marshallese Women's Advocacy Program increases access to justice for Marshallese female survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, and promotes women's empowerment.

 

What we do:

  • conduct outreach to educate and raise awareness about domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking 

  • inform Marshallese community members about available resources for survivors of gender-based violence and offer wrap-around services for survivors and their families

  • offer culturally appropriate workshops for women and girls

  • offer classes for advocacy agencies, law enforcement, and government agencies so that officials and advocates can better serve Marshallese clients

  • provide interpreter services to improve communication and ease the process for Marshallese survivors to come forward and seek assistance

  • engage community members, men, and boys as allies

  • provide a safe space for women

  • collaborate with local agencies and organizations to share resources and strengthen efforts
