Welcome
Out Against Abuse ("OAA") is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on providing interactive online resources to bring together activists, volunteers, survivors and members of the South Asian community to encourage the discussion and understanding of gender abuse.
Our website serves as an online hotline and resource center for survivors, victims and their friends and families, allowing them to anonymously ask questions and to quickly connect to the most appropriate resources.
OAA works to decrease the number of women enduring abuse through its distinct and comprehensive programs and safe online forums for victims, organizations, activists, survivors, and friends and families. We strive to educate and engage our community about gender abuse issues.
Please ask questions on our discussion forum, write comments in our recent news section, and check out upcoming events on our calendar page!
