About API-GBV

The Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence (API-GBV) is the first and only culturally specific national resource center on domestic violence, sexual violence, trafficking, and other forms of gender-based violence in Asian/Asian-American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI), Middle Eastern, and North African (MENA) communities.  We envision a world free of gender-based violence for communities with equal opportunities for all to thrive.

Our mission is to disrupt gender-based violence, which causes physical, sexual, emotional, spiritual and economic harm within AANHPI and MENA communities throughout the U.S. and its territories.
