Women Fights Against Violence Inc.
WFAV (Women Fights Against Violence Inc.) is a movement led by survivors, advocates, and community leaders who believe that violence should never be a life sentence.
Every woman who walks through our doors will be heard, believed, and supported.
Founded in New York by international human rights attorney Sonia Malhotra, WFAV was born from lived experience and advocacy. Sonia, after decades of fighting gender injustice in India, was forced to relocate due to political persecution. In the U.S., she began a new chapter, helping women across borders.
Every day, women face unimaginable choices—stay in abusive homes or leave and risk homelessness, financial instability, or retaliation. At WFAV, we exist to interrupt that cycle and create safer alternatives.
Behind every empowered woman is a community that chose to show up. At WFAV, our volunteers are more than helpers—they’re allies, mentors, advocates, and changemakers. Whether you have legal expertise, counseling skills, event coordination experience, or just a big heart and a few hours to give, there’s a place for you in our movement.
