Violence Prevention












Monsoon United Asian Women of Iowa’s Violence Prevention Program is guided by community change strategies such as mass mobilization, social action, citizen participation and public advocacy, empowerment theory, and participatory action research. Monsoon’s Violence Prevention Program focuses on Asian Pacific Islander (API) youth between the ages of 12 to 18 years. The program is separated (but interconnected) into three specific activities: In-School and After-School Programs, Monsoon Generation One API Youth Council, and the Project Organically Grown Girls’ Activism (POGGA).

Iowa Attorney General’s Crimes Victims Assistance Division FY 2008 Statistics:

- 199 Asian women and 39 Hawaiian/ Pacific Islanders were served by domestic violence and sexual assault providers across Iowa.

- API women are least likely to report physical victimization.
