The Together We Rise Report

Together We Rise by South Asian SOAR is a comprehensive look at the needs and challenges of South Asian survivors, frontline organizations, communities, and the gender-based violence movement.

It is the first time that the voices of community-based organizations that serve South Asian survivors have been unified and amplified on the national scale. It also a roadmap for communities abundant with joy, healing, and justice.

“Reading the Together We Rise report has been insightful and validating. Over our many years of partnership, organizations from around the country have frequently come together to informally discuss trends we see and challenges we face. The report allows these anecdotes to become true findings that organize us, inspire us, and move us towards collective action. Through this report we are more connected and can collectively uplift the unique needs and experiences in our community.”
