is to provide an environment that is sensitive to the cultural and language needs of Asian and Pacific Islander domestic violence
survivors and their families, as they acquire the necessary skills and personal strength for self-sufficiency and violence-free
lives.
Peace Over Violence
Peace Over Violence is a social service agency formerly called Los Angeles
Commission on Assaults Against Women. We changed our name to reflect the growing range of programs we offer, which have expanded

abuse, while running a range of specialized services reaching underserved groups like Latinas, Deaf, Disabled and Elder, LGBTQ, and Youth.
