She hit me first
She hit me first, My friend and I were speaking last night at dinner about the phenomenon of South Asian men claiming immediately “she hit me first” in domestic violence cases.
How do they know what to say to get out of a situation after saying their filthy phrase, “She hit me first.”?
Do they speak with each other how to handle a situation in their defense?
We wondered, when and how this intel gets around.
She hit me first: Women don’t report.
South Asian ladies especially aren’t just prone to home violence, but exceedingly prone to underreporting of home violence. The hassle compounds itself through making it hard not only to quantify the issue but additionally tougher to apprehend its roots.
This paper inquires this phenomenon through studying the probable reasons for each home violence in addition to underreporting, thru information what systemic, legislative, and cultural problems mainly plague South Asian ladies withinside the United States.
Stark cultural variations among Eastern and Western values and subculture, acclimation difficulties, and a powerfully hierarchical, patriarchal subculture are in the end the maximum impactful foundations sanctioning home violence in South Asian ladies. The safeguards in opposition to interpersonal violence in immigrants have conclusively failed, because of a lack of information about them and an excessive issue for immigrant ladies to even employ them. The United States desires to boom investment and accessibility in its home violence survivor’s packages as a way to significantly help immigrant ladies.
Cultural deformity in the region
In South Asia, the inflexible cultures and discriminatory attitudes regarding girls have brought about the exploitation of girls, from person to community levels. Men and women in this area are disclosed to biased, inequitable practices and violent behaviors in any respect levels of life.
The excessive prevalence of woman infanticide in India, the common prevalence of culture-precise varieties of violence like honor killings, acid attacks, and cooker an tandoor burnings in Pakistan and Bangladesh, trafficking of girls from Nepal, Sri-Lanka and India to different areas of the world, pressured into prostitution and different kinds of sexual violence, in addition to the excessive occurrence of home violence in all international locations of the area, all represent examples of violence towards girls on this place.
The deeply entrenched cultural norms, resulting in the recognition of violence as ‘everyday life encounters for a woman’ and to dispel such cultural myths and norms is a powerful task. In the own circle of relatives unit, the male is the undisputed ruler of the household. Ineffective regulation encourages abusers to get involved in abusive acts towards girls with no repercussions. To eliminate violence towards girls in this area there are a few essential demanding situations which include: bringing change to the current social and personal attitudes, each on the own circle of relatives and societal levels, in addition to the implementation of guidelines for fairness and maintaining of the political will to gain substantial results.
Marital pressure on the women
A woman, especially South Asian is so distraught, traumatized, and upset for even calling the authorities on her husband. Let alone to understand why her husband is making an accusation of her hitting him first.
Raising a hand on a man is an almost unheard phenomenon in South Asian culture.
The forms of abuse men may go over are more psychological and emotional, not physical.
Our minds were boggled how men seem to unite at a front, when, where, and how?
