The overall goal of the program is to increase access to resources and improve the safety of A/PI survivors of domestic violence, regardless of income level, immigration status, and English language proficiency.

The Community Outreach Program is devoted to increasing awareness about the dynamics and impact of domestic violence in Asian/Pacific Islander communities in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Domestic violence is often misconstrued as an issue between two individuals. Domestic violence destroys individuals, families, and communities.

In order to end domestic violence, every member of the community must work together to understand and take steps to support survivors and hold abusers accountable. DVRP facilitates group dialogues to examine the reality of domestic violence and ways to respond as individuals and as a community.

Community Outreach Program activities include:

• Educational workshops, presentations, trainings;
• Film screenings;
• Community dialogues;
• Dissemination of educational materials;
• Enlisting community members as supporters and allies

DVRP has created new brochures with questions and answers about domestic violence, outlining how to get help if you are experiencing abuse. The brochure has been translated into 13 different languages and are all available in PDF format below.
