Asian American and Pacific Islander women have faced up with several multiple systems of oppression that are based on gender, race, class, age, language ability, and immigrant status. These issues cause directly to sexual assault and domestic violence that some of the AAPI women experience today, and these violences will possibly be increasing rapidly among AAPI communities and families as well. In ReAppropriate Blog, it reports that about 60 percent of the incidence of sexual assault is in Asian American communities, including Cambodian, Korean, and South Asian American communities. And this blog also reveals two significant barriers that towards reporting of assault. The first barrier is a cultural stigma. Many survivors were afraid to report
Unfortunately, what I will focus on will be about Intimate Partner Violence among Divers, and At-Risk Population; chapter thirteen of McClennen book. I choose this chapter because my culture enforces barriers upon victims who are in a violent marriage. In the journal, I will be sharing about how my culture enforced intimate partner violence by stating the barriers within the Hmong community, then I will give a brief explanation to what I have gained from the readings, and lastly, how the theme of this journal could help enforce effective treatment for future practitioners.
The topic our group chose for this assignment is domestic violence in New Mexico; more constricted to domestic violence toward men. Domestic violence is considered to be one of the biggest problems and a huge issue in America’s society today. According to the article, the statistics given by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence; 1 in 4 women will be victims of domestic violence at some point in their lives, 1.3 million women are assaulted by their partner every year, and 85% of domestic violence reported is against women (Ruth, 2012). In a survey conducted by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in 2010, it was found that 40% of the victims of brutal domestic violence are men (Ruth, 2012).
Towards the east side of the San Francisco City has plenty of associations that put their heart into assisting victims of domestic violence. If I were Tania’s therapist, I would recommended her to La Casa de las Madres even though this is just one of many associations in the area. Asian’s Women’s Shelter and Community United Against Violence are also around, which can be alternative options for Tania if La Casa de las Madres doesn’t work out for her. There are other shelters nearby if immediate housing is needed. I recommend La Casa de las Madres since each day throughout the whole year, they answer calls for victims of all ages who need help from domestic violence. They provide support services, such as counseling as the tools to help survivors transform their lives. They also aim to prohibit inevitable brutality by informing the public and re-illustrating general impression about domestic violence. Not only does La Casa de las Madres works with females but also children and teenagers who are affected by the violence that they have separate phone lines for each groups.

One in three women in the world has been in a sexual or physical abuse with either a non-partner or partner in their lifetime (World, 2016). There are agencies that are willing to help people from these solutions by giving shelter or help in any way they can. To have a better understand what agencies does to help there is a particular county that has an agency that helps victims of domestic violence. The agency that will be discussed is The PATH shelter in Rutherford County, and how is the experience of a member who works in the PATH shelter, and learns more about the Domestic Violence.
In 1977, a group of caring men and women in Imperial County called a community meeting to discuss the problem of domestic violence, which was just then beginning to receive public attention. The dedicated people who attended that first organizational meeting worked rapidly and soon founded the non-profit organization WomanHaven, Inc. They have since changed the agency’s name and now operate as The Center for Family Solutions. Our mission is to promote and provide a comprehensive response to domestic violence, stalking and human trafficking through Community Outreach & Education, Prevention, Intervention, Client Support Services; and Safety and Shelter Services. Agency’s mission is to implement domestic violence, stalking and human trafficking best practices and model programs which incorporate state mandates for effective and efficient quality service in increasing awareness and decreasing the episodes of domestic violence in the communities of Imperial County, California (CFS, 2016).

We have three goals that we think will make the group develop. The first goal is making resources available to men that may be suffering from a domestic violent relationship. Any resources that can comfort men with coping with abuse will be positive.
This semester's placement was at Pillars Constance Morris House a Domestic Violence Shelter. The domestic violence shelters mission is to provide a safe place for women and their children. It offers a few resources available for those who need them such as legal advocacy, counseling, shelter, and outreach.

Domestic violence affects all facets of our American society. Domestic violence is the most prevalent form of gender-based violence in the USA.

“Domestic violence and abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, income, or any other factors”. Did you know that 1 in 4 women will experience some form of domestic violence in their lifetime? These are just a few statistics in a nationwide epidemic that impacts us all. Domestic violence comes in many forms such as physical, sexual and even psychological abuse. Domestic abuse is widespread in the United States, it impacts every class (poor, middle, wealthy), race, ethnic group, etc. The major source of domestic abuse is “fear” which the abuser uses as a form of control. Unfortunately the fear factor leads to unreported incidents which in many cases leads to unnecessary fatalities. The abusers
From the initial information given by the case study, there are several pressing issues that can be picked out that call for further assessment. First, I would want to assess the topic of domestic violence in the household. This seems to be the most alarming issue at hand due to the police conveying to Theresa that they were worried for her and the children’s safety. To delve into this topic, I first would want to speak with Jose. I would pose the question “Has an adult harmed you or your siblings?” and further with “In what way(s)?” if his answer was yes to ensure that I was getting an accurate picture. I would also want to discuss feelings that have been directed towards him by asking “How often are your mom and/or stepdad angry or violent

Domestic violence can occur within any ethnic background, age, gender, and economic stand. Domestic violence cases are becoming more common all around the world.
