Mission Statement
We envision a just and equitable world free of violence and oppression.
About This Cause
API Chaya believes in survivors. We are a survivor-led organization focused on serving survivors of sexual violence, human trafficking, and domestic violence from Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, Asian, and South Asian communities. To center those at the margins, we keep young people, faith-based communities, queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, and people of color, people with disabilities, and immigrants at our core. Culturally specific support services help survivors move from crisis to healing and thriving. Our free and confidential wraparound services include intensive case management, safety planning, emotional support, legal services, and therapy. Our advocates work closely with survivors to reach safety and independence. We know that when survivors face abuse, they first turn to their close networks. We train these networks to prevent and respond to violence through support, leadership and skill building programs that are language and culture specific. This creates supportive environments for all survivors in their daily lives - in their homes, at their places of worship, in their schools, their workplace, and neighborhoods. Through our support services and intergenerational community organizing, we meet the immediate safety needs of survivors while developing long term leadership to transform conditions that allow harm to happen. As a survivor-led organization, we value self-determination and create options for healing and accountability. We recognize that our communities have the resources, traditions and legacies we need to build the relationships and families we want for generations to come.
