CW: domestic violence, abuse
This week we talk about domestic violence in the South Asian community. In this episode, we'll weave in statistics, anecdotal evidence, and cultural narratives that set up this issue of domestic violence in South Asian-American communities. From the cultural barriers like “shame”, “fear”, and “family honor” to issues of financial literacy and the stigma behind divorce, we discuss the reasons why intimate partner violence is so prevalent in South Asian households. While this is a difficult topic to discuss, it was one we really wanted to bring to the forefront, especially seeing as many womxn may be stuck in abusive situations due to the current lock-down.
If you or someone you know is in danger please call the toll-free helpline at 1-888-862-4874. For folks in the Bay Area, reach out to Maitri a free, confidential, nonprofit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area that primarily helps families and individuals from South Asia facing domestic violence, emotional abuse, cultural alienation, or family conflict, or Narika, who's mission is to promote women’s independence, economic empowerment and wellbeing by helping survivors of intimate partner abuse and violence with advocacy, support, and education.
