GRACE St. JUDE
AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Our mission is to end domestic violence in immigrant African communities
GRACE St. JUDE is a culture-specific project to assist, empower and raise the voices of victims/survivors of domestic abuse in immigrant African communities in Greater Houston – home to large numbers of immigrant Africans. Its mission is to end domestic violence in immigrant African families and communities within and beyond Greater Houston.
Although women are more likely than men to be victims/survivors of domestic violence, GRACE St. JUDE recognizes that men also experience domestic violence.
In serving immigrant Africans, GRACE St. JUDE:
-
recognizes domestic violence as a public health issue.
-
recognizes domestic violence as a serious human rights violation.
-
protects and empowers immigrant African victims or survivors of domestic violence.
-
works to restore peace in immigrant African families and communities.
-
works to end domestic abuse of African women globally.
