AADA – Asians Against Domestic Abuse

Helpline (713) 339-8300

Since 2001, the Asians Against Domestic Abuse (AADA) in Greater Houston has provided assistance to Asian American and Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) women. The objective of the AADA is to eradicate all kinds of violence against women via education, advocacy, community leadership, and the formation of successful community partnerships. Domestic violence is still a problem in certain homes, despite the fact that these communities are frequently promoted as the “Model Minority.” By allowing individuals to openly discuss difficult subjects, AADA helps to fill a service void.

The mission of the Asian American Democratic Alliance (AADA) is to abolish the oppression of women of East and Southeast Asian heritage through altering public attitudes and public policies. Individuals who have endured sexual assault or domestic violence may benefit from the AADA’s comprehensive case management services.

Via AADA’s interaction with the referral network, all relevant legal, counseling, and assistance professionals are accessible to program participants.
