    AJSOCAL SAFE Space

    Los Angeles County faces a critical shortage of Asian language capacity in legal aid, despite a large, limited English proficient (LEP) AAPI population. AJSOCAL data shows 85% of domestic violence (DV) / gender-based violence (GBV) clients were AAPI, 56.4% LEP, and 87% immigrants. To address this, AJSOCAL’s Survivor and Family Empowerment (SAFE) project will expand its “SAFE Space” project, an innovative clinic offering free, legal consultations and workshops in multiple Asian languages.

    Paths to Empowerment for Immigrant Survivors

    Immigrants who are survivors of violent crimes, such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, and trafficking, face disproportionate underrepresentation and oppression, especially those who are low-income and/or limited English proficient. Our vision is to help pave the way to a safe future by helping them overcome barriers, including navigating the legal system, making immigration remedies accessible, and offering culturally and linguistically appropriate guidance and support.
