The Korean American Family Service Center (KAFSC) has served the Tri-State area as a bilingual service provider addressing gender-based violence for the last thirty-four years. As a Korean-American dual agency in New York that is committed to preventing and ending domestic violence, sexual assault, and relationship abuse while operating a 24-hour Bilingual Hotline, our expertise allows us to serve survivors of gender-based violence from a combined prevention and intervention perspective that remains sensitive to our client base’s cultural setting. Join us for our 35th Anniversary Benefit Gala to celebrate the resilience of our survivors who have successfully led new lives away from abuse and stand with us in our mission to create a violence-free society.
