Re: News article on domestic abuse amongst South Asian women in Canada
It's not so much blaming culture, but simply pointing out that we are different...and consequently, whatever help is available our women tend to think it doesn't apply to them. Nor have we developed any kind of support system ourselves, because we arrogantly think such problems lie outside of our cultural groups...indeed, the woman's family wouldn't even think much of the abuse for this very reason.
In a sense culture is to blame...a culture of denial.
