Even in the case that an abuser agreed to seek counseling, other family members may not be supportive of this type of resolution, instead viewing it as disloyalty and abandonment of the family.
Due to the abundance of obstacles to ending violence in the Asian community, it becomes clear that abuse toward women within the Asian population will surely be maintained for now. However, it is also hopeful to state that progress will be made, based on the progress that has already been achieved. Although progress is very slow and despite the many fears that they are contending with, it is encouraging to know that women have begun speaking out against abuse.
