The maximum number of attendees for this event has been reached

The Asian & Pacific Islander Institute on Domestic Violence invites you to join a remarkable, diverse, and dedicated group of advocates, organizations and allies confronting gender-based violence in Asian & Pacific Islander (API) communities.  Grounded in margin-to-center approaches and a shared intersectional analysis of context and power, our movement has built programs that identify and respond to critical issues and trends, strategize about safety and offer services in up to 40 Asian languages, and work to replace system barriers with gateways—all the while engaging communities to challenge patriarchal culture and build the architecture for gender democracy.  Power up with provocative plenaries, skills-building workshops, networking and peer-learning to put A-Z Advocacy Models on the map!
