SAKHI For South Asian Survivors
About the Foundation
Sakhi for South Asian Survivors is a survivor-led, survivor-centered movement dedicated to working alongside South Asian and Indo-Caribbean survivors of gender-based violence. Founded 36 years ago, we believe in the power of survivors to lead change—not just for themselves, but for our entire community. We see advocacy, community mobilization, and direct work with survivors as the pathways to transformational change at the individual, communal, and systemic levels. Our work is rooted in the understanding that justice, healing, and safety must be accessible to all, and we are committed to dismantling the structural barriers that perpetuate violence and silence.
Why We Support #StandWithHer
The #StandWithHer Campaign is an urgent call to action, aligning deeply with Sakhi’s mission to challenge the structures that enable gender-based violence. To Kill a Tiger lays bare the realities that so many survivors face—where seeking justice is not just a personal fight but a systemic battle against deeply entrenched norms. This campaign amplifies the voices of those who refuse to be silenced, and we stand with them. We know that meaningful change requires both individual courage and collective action, and we are honored to be part of a movement that demands accountability and reimagines justice.
What We Hope to Achieve
I hope this campaign compels a global reckoning with the ways survivors are often left to fight alone. My hope is that To Kill a Tiger and the #StandWithHer movement shift the burden—placing the responsibility on society to create structures of support rather than barriers to justice. At Sakhi, we have witnessed firsthand the resilience of survivors, but resilience should not be the cost of survival. Through this campaign, I want us to create real momentum toward policy shifts, increased resources, and a cultural transformation that no longer tolerates gender-based violence in any form.
