SAWERA’s mission is to support and empower the South Asian community experiencing domestic violence in Oregon. We promote the independence and dignity of South Asian women through education, empowerment and solidarity.

Our twin goals are to provide direct services to victims and to conduct outreach and education in South Asian communities. We support and publicize women’s organizations in South Asia whose main goal is to empower women. Additionally, we join women’s groups in the United States and in South Asia as catalysts for social change.
