Abstract:

Domestic violence in Wake County has spiked recently, especially among immigrants. Domestic violence is often tolerated among women who are immigrants for cultural reasons. Slowly, that trend is being reversed are programs are tailored toward women who are immigrants. Statistics for domestic violence among women who are immigrants and the experiences of Manisha Singh’s as a victim of domestic abuse are shared.
