@Reva Datar Thank you so much, and thank you for your great guidance over these past two years! I think there might be a lot of logistical issues with having enough volunteers or paying staff or have properly functioning technology. That being said, I feel like implementing these programs in the U.S. or in other countries would warrant similar challenges. Perhaps individuals would be less likely to seek out services in their home countries as compared to here. Then again, I have read reports from international organizations working with gender-based violence who have extremely successful intervention outcomes.

@Megan Burke Thanks for your question! Yes, working with DVRP definitely has encouraged me to follow my passion of health policy and implement policies around issues of gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health and rights that are more culturally congruent.

@sophiaeclarin64 Thanks so much, and thank you for your question! I've always had a passion for gender-based violence. I actually work in the CARE office as a member of the Peer Outreach Team, so that's how I found out about DVRP. I was really interested in all of the culturally-based intersections that gender-based violence survivors face, especially in the A/PI community. I was specifically drawn to this organization because of their work with the A/PI community, which I am a part of. I did have experience with this issue from working in CARE, but this internship did also provide me with a lot of great new knowledge and opportunities as well.

I really enjoyed learning about your internship; the issue is often very overlooked, so I am glad you got to bring some awareness to it! What made you choose this specific organization/issue area, and did you have a lot of knowledge about the issue prior to getting the internship? Great work!

This is really interesting, and I wasn't even aware such an organization existed! I have two questions: Did this internship have any impact on your future career goals or focuses? And: Did you find it emotionally or mentally challenging to be working on such a troubling topic?
