State of the Field Report
One year ago, we released our inaugural Together We Rise report, shedding light on the complex and nuanced challenges faced by South Asian survivors, anti-violence organizations, and our communities. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are excited to unveil our inaugural comprehensive national data report—the State of the Field: Data from the Frontlines of the South Asian Gender-Based Violence Work. This data isn't just groundbreaking; it holds the potential to reshape the landscape of support and services for South Asian survivors of gender-based violence.
Together We Rise
Together We Rise is the first of its kind in that it centers community-based leadership across South Asian gender-based violence movement.
In the summer of 2021, South Asian SOAR (SOAR), convened listening sessions with its network of 30+ frontline organizations across 13 states. This report shares the key findings from those listening sessions, and through it, we strive to ultimately generate increased funding, improve research & data collection, and drive policy changes that accurately meet South Asian survivors’ needs.
