Community of Color

ANJC serves as a bridge between Alaska Native people and the justice system. We advocate for justice and work in partnership with community and statewide agencies. They provide a wide range of advocacy, prevention and intervention services.

The Alaska Native Women's Resource Center is dedicated to strengthening local, tribal government's responses through community organizing efforts advocating for the safety of women and children in their communities and homes, especially against domestic and sexual abuse and violence.

Since the 1970s, YWCA has provided response programs to victims of sexual assault known as Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS). The YWCA of Hawaiʻi Island is dedicated to changing the beliefs that accompany sexual violence. They seek to create a society that does not minimize sexual crimes, that does not permit the shaming or silencing of the assaulted or hide the crime out of shame – a society where perpetrators are held accountable, mandated for treatment and prevented from offending again.

The YWCA offers support services for victims and their families:

• Free, Confidential Counseling
• Advocacy
• Crisis Intervention
• Emotional and Moral Support
• Available for All Ages
• Assistance Deciding Whether to File a Police Report
• Therapeutic Services

The Hmong Family Strengthening program (HFS) at CAP Services’ Family Crisis Center provides specialized, culturally sensitive domestic violence services to Hmong families. Advocates are bilingual and bicultural, and are able to assist those who identify as Hmong, but also work with other organizations to connect clients who identify as Khmer, Karen, Black, Burmese, Chin or LGBTQ+ to needed services.

The ‘me too.’ movement was founded in 2006 by Tarana Burke to support survivors of sexual violence, particularly young women of color from low-wealth communities, to find pathways to healing. The organization hosts an array of survivor resources and information.

South Asian SOAR is a national collective of survivors, organizations, and allies building a movement to end gender-based violence in the South Asian diaspora. Through capacity building, leadership development, and policy advocacy, we seek to build people power to drive systems-level change.
