Supporting the Participation of AANHPI Survivors of Gender-Based Violence to Vote

Advisory / Tipsheet

Survivors of gender-based violence in AANHPI communities often face numerous barriers to meaningfully participating in elections, including safety and privacy concerns, laws that disenfranchise many voters, language barriers, and for survivors who are homeless or living in a shelter, lack of a home address. This advisory will explain the importance of voter participation among survivors in AANHPI communities and ways to support voter safety among survivors.
