Alarmingly, 19% of women aged 15-49 globally have experienced physical or sexual violence from an intimate partner. For Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women in the U.S., the situation is even more concerning:⁠
Intimate Partner Violence: Between 21% and 55% of AAPI women report experiencing physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner during their lifetime.⁠
⁠
Sexual Violence: Approximately 23% of AAPI women have faced some form of contact sexual violence, with 10% experiencing completed or attempted rape.⁠
⁠
Stalking: About 8% of AAPI women have been victims of stalking in their lifetime.⁠
⁠
These statistics highlight the critical need for culturally sensitive support services. Barriers such as cultural stigmas, language challenges, and immigration concerns often prevent AAPI women from seeking help. ⁠
⁠
Organizations like the National Domestic Violence Hotline offer multilingual support and referrals to legal and immigration services. If you or someone you know needs assistance, contact the hotline at 1-800-799-7233.⁠
