Our Approach
A holistic, culturally competent response
Our approach is to educate, train, and support professionals in understanding the needs and issues of Bangladeshi and minority women. To provide a holistic approach to working with them through specific training programs for professionals working in the field of Domestic Abuse.
AASHA is committed to working with professionals in a variety of strength-based, culturally competent, and trauma-informed training programs. Ensure domestic abuse support services offer culturally competent, intersectional and faith-sensitive training to professionals working with women, which includes understanding the culture, norms, religion, traditions and the unique challenges women from minority communities face.
