“…Women cope with or recover from abuse by realizing their strengths, keeping busy, finding hobbies, and learning English (Ahmad et al, 2013). Studies on abused immigrant women from non-Asian groups in the United States (e.g., Africans and Mexicans) have reported protective factors such as female submissiveness or adherence to the female role in marriage and help received from family and friends and other members of the community (Kalunta-Crumpton, 2017; Kyriakakis, 2014). Submission to male authority and avoidance of confrontation or conflict in relationships (e.g., keeping quiet and not talking back, not saying or doing something to make the abuser angry) have been reported to protect women by preventing escalation of abuse.…”

Objectives Limited research exists on multilevel influences of intimate partner violence (IPV) among immigrant groups in the United States, particularly South Asians. Using a socioecological framework, this study examined risk and protective factors of IPV among a diverse group of South Asian immigrant survivors of IPV and identified their perceived need for services. Method Sixteen South Asian immigrant survivors were recruited from New York; Maryland; Virginia; and Washington, DC, using a snowball sampling method. Participants were 1st-generation and 2nd-generation immigrants born in India (n = 4), Bangladesh (n = 4), Pakistan (n = 5), the United States (n = 2), and Sri Lanka (n = 1). Data were collected using in-depth interviews (n = 16) and a focus group (n = 1). A thematic analysis procedure was used to analyze the data and to identify themes across different ecological levels. Results IPV was related to factors at multiple levels, such as cultural normalization of abuse, gender role expectations, need to protect family honor, arranged marriage system, abusive partner characteristics, and women’s fear of losing children and being on own. Protective factors included supportive family and friends, religion, safety strategies, education, and empowerment. Women highlighted the need for community education and empowerment efforts and culturally responsive services for addressing IPV in South Asian communities. Conclusions South Asian survivors of IPV have experienced, and some continue to experience, abuse due to factors operating at multiple levels of the ecological framework. Consideration of culturally specific risk and protective factors for IPV at multiple contexts in women’s lives could inform culturally responsive IPV prevention and intervention strategies for South Asian communities in the United States.

“…It also permits a deeper understanding of how gender and power operate both structurally (women's access to and positions within social institutions) and ideologically (the beliefs, norms, and values about the status and roles of women in a society) (Dobash & Dobash, 1979). It is therefore useful in studying women's lived experiences of violence in societies with strong patriarchal ideologies (Kalunta-Crumpton, 2017). Patriarchy is not only known to support VAW but also gender inequalities and disadvantages (Brownmiller, 1975;Yllö & Bograd, 1988).…”

This study aims to explore if and how cultural beliefs, norms, and practices might contribute to Nigerian women’s experiences of sexual abuse and violence. In-depth narrative interviews were conducted with 12 women of Nigerian origin living in the Northwest of England who had experienced sexual abuse and violence. Women’s accounts were analyzed thematically, and drawing upon a feminist-intersectional conceptual framework, analysis reveals that male privilege defined by gendered role and expectation, religious beliefs, rape myths, and bride-price with the associated practice of libation may have contributed to women’s experiences of sexual abuse and violence.

“…Perhaps unintentionally, this perspective widens the net of inclusivity beyond its intended coverage. For example, the indicators of disadvantage associated with people of color , and allegedly caused by White racism, are found among people of European origin, particularly among the non-English-speaking immigrants, many of whom are known to lack English language skills, are undocumented, and experience socio-economic difficulties (Erez et al., 2009; Kalunta-Crumpton, 2017). This begs the question of whether the term and notion of people of color should then apply to European immigrants who experience disadvantage.…”

The inclusion of the term ‘color’ in any racial label is racist, is it not?

Through an examination of the term people of color, this conceptual paper illustrates how the use of historical racial labels in the US, supposedly aimed at denouncing racism, seems to reproduce that which the labels purport to condemn. With a primary focus on Blacks or African-Americans, this paper draws purely on a review and analysis of secondary information to argue that any antiracist agenda that utilizes terms that were associated with historical racism may well be reproducing the racist ideologies that justified slavery and Jim Crow laws. This paper calls for the elimination of the term people of color and related labels from popular usage for the following reasons: (1) the racialized representation of color in historical race relations, (2) the deleterious implications of color for contemporary interracial and intraracial relations, and (3) the misleading universalism and racial divisiveness in the term people of color. These issues are discussed following an introduction and a conceptual framework. The paper concludes with a recommendation of appropriate terms for racial identification.
