Narika's mission is to promote the empowerment of women in our community to confront and overcome the cycles of domestic violence and exploitation. We work to build a movement to end violence against women and to support women's rights as human rights.

Narika's Vision
We consider women who are emotionally or physically abused in their homes and families to be victims of a larger societal violence against women. Such women may be abused by either men or women, and the violence they suffer is not the result of their class, education, race, religion, economic circumstances, sexual orientation, perceived inadequacies or other personal circumstance or characteristics. We are committed to the empowerment of women. Narika's philosophy relies on incorporating our cultural affinities, our language capabilities, and the most empowering practices from both South Asian and American cultures. Our volunteers and staff offer advice, helping hands, and a sisterly ear providing the support and information women need to make their own decisions.

1. Women have the right to live a life free of any form of violence

2. Women's rights are the same as all human rights
