Manavi is a New Jersey-based women's rights organization that works to end all forms of violence against South Asian women living in the U.S. "South Asian" women are those who identify themselves as being from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka. Through a wide variety of programs, Manavi ensures that women of South Asian descent in the U.S can exercise their fundamental right to live a life of dignity that is safe and free from violence. Manavi provides services equitably to women from all South Asian countries and does not discriminate based on national, religious or sectarian grounds. Some of our services include: individual counseling, legal clinics & referrals, support groups, court & medical accompaniments, and a transitional home.

If you are a woman facing violence and are in an emergency please dial 911 on your phone.
