  • Title: Every cloud has a silver lining but… "pathways to seeking formal-help and South-Asian immigrant women survivors of intimate partner violence".
    Author: Mahapatra N, Rai A.
    Journal: Health Care Women Int; 2019 Nov; 40(11):1170-1196. PubMed ID: 31347985.
    Abstract:
    It takes an inordinate amount of resiliency for South Asian (SA) immigrant women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV)/domestic violence (DV) to seek outside help. The purpose of authors of this study is to understand the process/pathways used by abused SA women to seek formal sources of help. A convenience sample of adult SA women (N = 9), who were survivors of IPV was recruited from a SA women's organization located in a large Southwestern metropolitan area in the United States. In-depth interviews were conducted and analyzed resulting in five themes. Despite seeking help, participants experienced barriers in accessing formal help and leaving an abusive relationship.
