Raksha Services FAQ

Does Raksha only help women?
No. Raksha helps men and women. While a majority of our clients are women, we have assisted many male clients as well. Some of the issues male clients face include immigration, marital difficulties, financial problems, and emotional and generation conflicts.

Does Raksha only assist with family violence matters?
No. Raksha also assists with many other issues facing the South Asian community. Although a majority of our calls are domestic/family violence related, we also assist clients in other matters including immigration and assimilation. The majority of calls to our help line are from those affected by family violence, but as the needs and issues the community faces change, Raksha will continue to be a resource and adapt to the needs as the community’s needs change.   Raksha recognizes that family violence does not occur in a vacuum and addresses many of the issues that intersect and contribute to family violence within the community.  This can include harassment, discrimination, immigration, access to legal services, economic empowerment, counseling, and referrals.

Does Raksha only serve the Indian community?
No. Raksha assists all South Asians. Raksha defines South Asians as people or descendents from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka We do not discriminate on the basis of religion, nationality or language. We also have a multilingual staff to assist our clients with linguistic needs.
