About Us
Our Story
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 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.
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.

What People Say About
Our Organization
As a law student, I thought I knew what justice meant. Volunteering at WFAV showed me what it looks like in action—when a woman walks into our clinic scared and leaves with clarity and courage. I’m proud to stand beside these brave survivors.
From neighborhood events to shelter visits, every moment with WFAV has reminded me that small actions matter. I’ve seen women rebuild their lives, and knowing I played a part in that healing is deeply humbling.
I started out teaching a few healing art workshops. What I didn’t expect was how much I would grow through this experience. The team is compassionate, professional, and driven. WFAV feels like family.
I’ve worked with many nonprofits, but WFAV’s energy is different. It's focused, grassroots, and survivor-led. Every donation drive, every campaign—it’s all about creating real change..
