Abstract
Domestic
violence
is
an
important
issue
that
affects
women
of
all
races
,
ethnicities
and
social
classes
.
Nearly
four
million
women
experience
intimate
partner
abuse
every
year
.
Due
to the
changing
make
up
of the
United
States
, this
issue
has
become
more
complex
among
minority
women
who
encounter
many
barriers
when
they
attempt
to
get
help
.
Many
of them
experience
discrimination
,
language
barriers
, and
under-educated
service
providers
while
trying
to
walk
away
from the
abusive
relationships
.
Some
other
issues
include
not
having
enough
knowledge
to
recognize
the
violence
or not
knowing
a
place
to
turn
for
help
. This
study
attempted
to
examine
the
reasons
why
some
women
fail
to
report
domestic
violence
.
It
focused
on
communities
in
New
Britain
,
Connecticut
,
which
has
large
populations
of
Hispanics
,
African
Americans
and
Polish
residents
. A
total
of
301
women
were
surveyed
about
their
knowledge
of
domestic
violence
,
awareness
of the
variety
of
services
available
to the
victims
, and the
likelihood
of
reporting
domestic
violence
. The
study
revealed
that
even
though
people
are
aware
of what
domestic
violence
is
and are
willing
to
report
the
occurrences
of
domestic
violence
,
close
to
60
percent
of the
women
were not
aware
of
local
resources
for
victims
of
domestic
violence
.
Additionally
,
Polish
women
were
less
likely
to
view
certain
behaviors
as
signs
of
domestic
violence
than
women
of
other
ethnic
backgrounds
,
suggesting
that there are
some
cultural
differences
that should be
taken
into
account
in
domestic
violence
programming
.
