Abstract:
This fact sheet reviews basic demographics and statistics on domestic violence within Filipino/Filipina communities in the United States. It draws from the U.S. Census, the reports “Shattered Lives: Homicides, Domestic Violence and Asian Families” and “Domestic Violence Deaths in Hawaii,” as well as survey research published in Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment. The fact sheet concludes with a listing of translated materials and resources. Note: some of the statistical research cited is older, as far back as 2000. (CVRL Abstract)
