Asha is a word that means Life & Hope
The first phase of a unique project that combines and intersects community violence interventions (CVI) and domestic violence (DV) interventions. Saving Our Sisters and Saving Our Selves (SOS) is our unique response to addressing domestic violence (DV) led by a content expert researcher. SOS is a project within Asha's Ujima Men’s Program that tailors services to the needs of men who use violence in their relationships with their female partners. SOS combined a unique campaign along with conducting focus groups with men in Milwaukee's central city to gather data for analysis on DV and community violence which is a little explored area that we believe can help.
