Counseling Tips
•
Domestic violence occurs in all cultures and races, including all American ethnic minorities.
•
•
Definition of domestic violence differs between cultures.
Respect cultural values, but emphasize that her safety is important. Assure her that a strong family can help her in a crisis.
•
Several issues complicate efforts to end domestic violence: language barriers, fear of police involvement, confusion about legal and social services, fear of deportation.
•
Point out that no one deserves to be hurt, no matter what the man says.
•
Tell her that laws protect both women and men from assault.
•
Inform her of domestic violence help: national hotline, women’s shelters, local support groups.
•
Stress the confidentiality of any discussion.
• •
Women don’t want to ask for help: it attracts attention and makes trouble in the family. Hispanic concept of “Familismo,” which refers to family networks, can make Hispanic women reluctant to seek outside help. The victim fears being an outcast if the family doesn’t believe her.
•
An Asian woman may fear of “losing face” and bringing shame to her family.
•
Puerto Rican culture believes in “cultural fatalism”: bad things happen no matter what efforts are taken to prevent them.
•
Some African-Americans fear police brutality. Many women hesitate to report a male abuser because they are afraid police may use excessive force on their partner.
Religion Issues or Influences
Counseling Tips
•
Biblical interpretations that tell the women she must obey her husband or partner.
•
•
Attitude that preserving the family is more important than her own safety.
Pay attention to religious questions or comments. Many women find comfort in biblical scriptures. In the AfricanAmerican community a victim’s first place of refuge is often the church.
•
Belief that abuse is part of God’s will.
•
•
Buddhist beliefs: women must persevere in difficult times; her fate can’t be changed.
Affirm that her questions are valid and ask the victim how important these issues are to her.
•
Refer the victim to a pastor or rabbi experienced in domestic violence issues.
•
If you are comfortable discussing religious issues, explain that Biblical quotes are often misused to justify abuse.

Addressing Domestic Violence
Gender Issues or Influences
Counseling Tips
•
•
Assure the victim that her safety is more important than submitting to abuse condoned by cultural tradition.
•
Encourage her to develop skills so that she can support herself if she needs to.
Gender roles determine a woman’s view of domestic violence. Some cultures do not label a man’s physical attacks on his wife as “domestic violence.”
•
Gender roles define power and control. Latin American men prize “machismo,” or male status.
•
Some societies view the woman as the man’s “property.” What he does in private is his business.
