“…To provide participants an opportunity to respond to the survey in a familiar language, the survey was translated into Hindi, a common South Asian language. Back translation methods were used for the translation (Choi, 2011; Mahapatra, 2008). However, none of the participants took the survey in Hindi.…”

The South Asian culture disempowers individuals experiencing domestic violence (DV) from reporting victimization.Past research has found that confiding in and seeking help from friends/family is preferred. Therefore, it is important to gauge the knowledge of community members who may be contacted for support by victims. The goal of the study was to examine indirect experience with DV (knowing someone who experienced DV) and help-seeking resource preference among community members. This cross-sectional study included a sample of 468 South Asian men and women. Descriptive statistics were used to establish rates of indirect experience with DV. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to examine the correlates of recommending help-seeking. The overall findings suggested that community members knew more women than men who were victims. Of nine helpseeking resources, medical professionals were preferred.Regression findings identified gender, religiosity, generational position, family type, and gender-role attitudes as the correlates of recommending help-seeking. The study findings are beneficial in developing bystander interventions for use by community members to support their friends and family members who may be victims of DV. To reduce overall victimization, it is imperative for agencies to engage with community members along with victims.

“…It is quite likely that cultural differences in survivors' interpretation of and response to surveillance, coercive control, and abuse may exist. Indeed, previous research suggests that traditional gender-role and religious beliefs may make it difficult for some survivors to recognize surveillance and coercive control as part of a pattern of violence (Choi, 2015;Do et al, 2013;Han et al, 2010;Shim & Nelson-Becker, 2009;Taft et al, 2008). Similarly, stigma surrounding IPA (Bridges et al, 2018;Frías, 2013;Kim-Goh & Baello, 2008;Lewis et al, 2005), help seeking (O'Neal & Beckman, 2017;Sabina et al, 2012;Shiu-Thornton et al, 2005), and divorce (Marrs Fuchsel et al, 2012;Morash et al, 2008) may make it difficult for some survivors to know how to respond to surveillance and coercive control when it does occur.…”

Using a mixed-methods design, the present study examined intimate partner surveillance among a diverse sample of intimate partner abuse (IPA) survivors ( n = 246), including women of Mexican ( n = 83), Korean ( n = 50), Vietnamese ( n = 49), and European descent ( n = 64). Most survivors (57%) described surveillance in either survey or interview; inductive thematic analysis revealed seven forms of surveillance. Finally, two-step cluster analysis identified two patterns of victimization most clearly differentiated by surveillance, but ethnic group differences in rates and patterns of abuse did not emerge. Implications for both clinicians and researchers are discussed.

“…A survey conducted by Choi (2015) with 152 Korean American Protestant clergy in their congregations found that the majority of respondents reported providing counselling support to IPV victims, although one third reported they had never referred IPV victims to additional / external resources. Only 16% felt prepared to respond to domestic violence in their communities, which evidenced the need for more training for clergy to understand how domestic violence manifests in their speci c cultural context and how it might be addressed.…”

A multi-sectoral evidence synthesis on religious beliefs, intimate partner violence and faith-based interventions

In recent decades, more studies have emerged that examine the relationship between religion / spirituality, marital functioning and mental health. The scholarship on domestic violence (DV) / intimate partner violence (IPV) and religion does not appear to have integrated this evidence sufficiently and also lacks a multi-sectoral perspective. Ultimately, evidence from psychology and counselling needs to be bridged with evidence from public health and international development programming and studies in anthropology and sociology. A better integration could help to increase understanding of the multidimensional effects of religious parameters in the experience of DV / IPV and to identify how these effects could be leveraged resourcefully in faith-based interventions at community level and in psychosocial counselling involving victims, survivors and perpetrators in religious contexts. The current synthesis is the result of a systematic review that was conducted to start to bridge this multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary evidence to identify specifically: a) the influence of religious beliefs and experience on the rationalisations, behaviour and mental health of victims, survivors and perpetrators, and b) faith-based interventions in community and psychological counselling and their effectiveness. In pursuing these questions, we aimed to overcome the dominance of western definitions and paradigms of domestic violence or religion by combining evidence from sectors that are more international, such as public health and international development, and studies conducted in low-and middle-income societies that received less attention historically. We especially sought to distance ourselves from rigid understandings of ‘religion’ in an effort to make the review more relevant to diverse religious traditions and experiences.
