本文探讨了一组南亚移民家庭暴力的幸存者谁访问了纽约市的心理健康诊所所表达的痛苦的叙述。这些帐户说明妇女自己的痛苦和症状的看法，并提供了一个窗口，南亚移民社区的意识形态和道德领域的性别，暴力和疾病，以及个人如何在他们的认可这些意识形态的不同。妇女的叙述说明了移民和文化如何与家庭暴力和性暴力造成的痛苦的深刻个人经历相互作用。
This article examines the narratives of suffering expressed by a group of South Asian immigrant survivors of domestic violence who accessed a mental health clinic in New York City. These accounts illustrate women's own perceptions of their suffering and symptoms and provide a window into the South Asian immigrant community's ideologies and moral domains regarding gender, violence, and sickness, as well as how individuals vary in their endorsement of these ideologies. The women's narratives illustrate how migration and culture interact with the deeply personal experience of suffering caused by domestic and sexual violence.
