“Domestic violence affects women from all ethnic groups, and there is no evidence to suggest that women from some ethnic or cultural communities are any more at risk than others. However, the form the abuse takes may vary; in some communities, for example, domestic violence may be perpetrated by extended family members, or it may include forced marriage, or female genital mutilation. Women from minority ethnic communities may also be more isolated, or may have to overcome religious and cultural pressures, and may be afraid of bringing shame onto their ‘family honour’.
Maybe you are escaping violence from other members of your family (for example, your parents or parents-in-law) rather than, or as well as, your partner or husband. You may be afraid of rejection from your own community if you ask for help. It may be particularly hard for you to admit to having problems with your marriage, and you may experience additional pressure from your extended family to stay with your partner. You may even have been forced or persuaded into marrying him in the first place and if your marriage fails, it may be seen as your fault, and you may be blamed for damaging the family honour.” – Women’s aid
