家庭暴力在几乎所有国家、文化、民族和种族群体以及社会阶层中都是一个普遍存在的问题。对文献的回顾表明，在关于亲密关系中对妇女的暴力行为的大量学术研究中，很少注意到少数民族的经历。因此，虽然在向家庭暴力受害者提供刑事司法和社会服务倡议方面取得了重大进展，但许多少数族裔的亲密暴力受害者没有充分利用现有的干预措施和服务，部分原因是他们寻求帮助的行为与主流文化的行为不同。因此，本文概述了一些文化障碍，这些障碍可能会阻碍有效性，并限制为一些最脆弱的亲密暴力受害者提供的干预和社会服务的数量。本文最后提出建议，机构和个人服务提供者可以采用，以提高他们的多元文化能力。
Domestic violence is a pervasive problem in virtually all countries, cultures, ethnic and racial groups, and social classes. A review of the literature indicates that in the vast scholarship on violence against women in intimate relationships, minimal attention has been given to experiences of ethnic minorities. Consequently, although there have been significant gains in providing criminal justice and social services initiatives to victims of domestic violence, many victims of intimate violence who are ethnic minorities underutilize the interventions and services available in part because their help-seeking behaviors differ from those of the dominant culture. As such, this paper provides an overview of some of the cultural barriers that may hinder the effectiveness as well as limit the amount of intervention and social services available for some of the most vulnerable victims of intimate violence. This paper concludes with recommendations that agencies as well as individual service providers can employ to increase their multicultural competency.
