South Asian SOAR is a collective of survivors, organizations, and allies unified in a movement to end gender-based violence in the South Asian diaspora.
We believe that everyone has a role in changing the systems and culture that breed abuse, violence, and oppression. SOAR exists to unify survivors, organizations, and allies — all those who dare to claim the sky. Together, we weave, nurture, and boldly advance our movement because we know that our stories need to be told and our voices need to be heard. Our mission is to grow our collective power to transform ourselves, our culture, and our systems. We will reimagine culture, policies, narratives, and systems as we collectively create the world we want to see. Our vision is joy, healing, and justice for all South Asian survivors and communities. |
