We are the leaders we’ve been looking for. – June Jordan

than last year).

emergency shelter.

graduating from the transitional program.

102mentors and youth

participated in CPAF’s “Healthy Teen

Relationships” workshop.

Dear Friends,

For the past six months, the issue of domestic and sexual violence has been dominating our

news headlines. This summer, the federal government began investigating how sexual assault

reports are handled (or mishandled) at more than 75 colleges and universities nationwide. This

fall, several NFL players were arrested for abuse towards their wives and children.

Despite this increase in attention at a national level, in our own Asian and Pacific Islander (API)

communities, we still hear people say, “There’s no domestic violence in our homes.” Many

of us do not want to admit that some Asian and Pacific Islander families are not as healthy or

happy as they could be. Yet last year, CPAF received almost 3,000 hotline calls—more than

ever before. It is likely that we all know someone who is suffering from abuse. The question is:

how can we interrupt these unhealthy and violent relationships and give survivors the hope and

healing that they need?

For the past 36 years, CPAF has brought the taboo topic of domestic and sexual violence

out of the shadows. We know it is not enough to simply respond to violence when it occurs.

We must prevent it before it happens. This summer, CPAF received two multi-year grants to

prevent domestic and sexual violence in Asian and Pacific Islander communities in Los Angeles

from the California Department of Public Health by cultivating youth leaders to mobilize their

communities to create and sustain healthy relationships.

We believe that our communities have the power to end domestic and sexual violence.

Together, we can build a healthier, safer Asian and Pacific Islander community. We hope you

will join us in this work.

FROM THE DIRECTOR AND BOARD

A SPIRIT OF COMMUNITYFinding Hope and Healing with CPAFAfter immigrating from China when she was six, Shao and her mother

faced abuse and manipulation from her father and his family.

“My father’s choice to deprive us of food and only give us ten dollars per month

for an allowance was a form of physical violence, since our bodies suffered. But

it was the helplessness that we felt during this period that may have brought

the greatest torment. We didn’t see a solution in sight because of the threat of

deportation from my father’s family, and because my father kept my mother

ignorant of the rights that people were entitled to in this country.”

Shao and her mother were referred to CPAF by their lawyer, who knew they

needed a safe haven of support.

“The sense of community I felt at CPAF profoundly influenced the development

of my worldviews as I entered high school. I was interested in social justice

because of my own experience and the experiences of other survivors I met.

I remember playing with all the children from other families and babysitting

them frequently. I remember the various potluck meals we shared together.

I remember all the laughs that we shared and the sorrows we felt as we

reminisced the past and what got us here to this shelter. This community

of strong women influenced my political and ideological leanings. I know

that I would not have cared about the renewed passage of the Violence

Against Women Act had it not been for this experience at CPAF. I am certain

that I wouldn’t have cared about social issues like gender discrimination,

demilitarization, economic inequality, and more.”

Thanks to her hard work and perseverance, Shao entered one of Los Angeles’

most prestigious magnet high schools, and gained a scholarship to attend

Harvard University. She plans to study public policy and government.

“It is because of this spirit of community that my mother and I continue to stay

connected with CPAF through various holiday events. It is great to see other

families we lived with during that time and catch up. CPAF is a continuing

network of support for my mother and I should we need it. Being connected

with CPAF also provides ample opportunity for me to give back to CPAF

through volunteerism. It gives me a platform to raise awareness about the

prevalence of domestic violence and encourage solutions to this problem.”

“CPAF is a continuing network of support... providing ample opportunity for me to give back.”

As part of our “Healthy Teen Relationship” program, CPAF hosted

our first-ever Asian and Pacific Islander youth mentor forum to raise

awareness for teen dating violence prevention. Forum participants

took part in CPAF’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month Campaign,

“Speaking Out: For Survivors, By Survivors.” Thanks to two new

grants from the California Department of Public Health, CPAF will

be expanding our prevention programs in 2015 to engage more

youth to prevent teen dating and sexual violence.

This year, CPAF began new non-residential services at our community center,

including a weekly healing circle for survivors of sexual violence. With our Sexual

Assault Collaborative partners in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Orange County, CPAF

also began offering healing circles for survivors from Southeast Asian communities.

For Mother’s Day, CPAF brought together more than 40 former

participants and their children for a special family portrait

session. Moms were treated to hair and makeup sessions and

a free photo shoot with their kids. Our community partners for

the event included CVS/Caremark, APNA, Western University

Pharmaceutical School, Christine Choi Photography, Von Butz

& Co., Johnson & Thomas Photographers, and Sazan.

City Council in May with the Spirit Award for Asian and Pacific Islander

Heritage month, recognizing her pioneering work to promote culturally-

domestic violence survivors. In her speech, Debra said, “I share this

award with the immigrant survivors of domestic violence and sexual

assault whose courageous journeys of healing inspire us all.”
