Community Engagement Project

The goal of the Community Engagement Project of the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK) is to prevent domestic violence through education, policy change, community organizing, and awareness-raising about family violence, intimate partner violence, and dating violence.

ATASK seeks to engage our communities in preventing domestic violence by working with systems, providers, community members and families. We hope to alter the current desensitization to violence and oppression in our communities. We believe that change cannot come from educating one community or group of people. We must engage everyone.

The Community Engagement Project provides the following services:

• Conducts domestic violence and cultural competency training to Asian/Asian American, non-Asian communities and professionals working with victims of violence and trauma
• Hosts, sponsors, and facilitates outreach events to create and raise awareness of domestic violence in our communities
• Advocates with policymakers for the needs of Asian families affected by domestic violence
