Narika at Cal

The goal of this student group is to increase student awareness and action in anti-domestic violence initiatives. We are an all volunteer run student subgroup of the home base, Narika (A Domestic Violence Helpline for South Asian Women), whose 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 at the student level to end violence against women and girls and to actively support women’s rights as human rights. Our membership is diverse and we welcome students and student supporters to join us.
