Building Culturally Competent Services in Response to Domestic, Sexual & Family Violence in Asian Communities
- What does domestic violence in Asian homes look like?
- What types of sexual assault are Asian women and girls vulnerable to?
- How do culture and family influence help-seeking?
AshaKiran's annual Cultural Competency in Crisis Intervention (CCCI) will address the contexts and dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault & family violence, the community norms that influence attitudes towards abuse and build on this understanding to identify culturally competent interventions that mitigate barriers and address the needs of Asian survivors.
