Actions Against Gender Violence

An Underreported Problem

Action Against Female Gender Violence is committed to bringing attention to the underreported problem of domestic violence in our communities. Sexual Assault is a serious problem that often goes unreported to the police and unrecorded.

Our project sheds light on the disproportionate impact on Black and Brown girls and women in NYC because they are more likely to experience economic inequity and gender violence starting in childhood. 

We believe empowering women with the resources they need within their communities helps them achieve success and equality and break the cycle of violence. Join us in our mission to end gender violence.

Intersectionality-impacted girls, women, and gender non-conforming New Yorkers need more options to feel safe to report violence.
