Opinion: Male violence against Asian women is an ever-present reality

Many of the Asian women who call us don’t speak English. They did not find out about us through an internet search or seeing an interview with us in the media. Somehow, they got our phone number from someone who knew that we could help them. Regardless of the reason they call us, Asian women often tell us that they’re constantly propositioned to have sex for money by men that they know, as well as men who are strangers to them.

All Asian women suffer the repercussions of racist and misogynistic stereotyping of Asian women.

Women of Colour’s Experiences of Male Violence and Poverty

With a Guaranteed Livable Income, women would not have to be economically dependent on men. It would increase women’s ability to resist exploitation and abuse from bosses, co-workers, landlords, pimps, and battering husbands.

Words from the Zapatista Women at the Opening of the Second International Gathering of Women Who Struggle

They say feminist struggles have made great steps forward. But we are still being murdered. They say now women have more voice. But we are still being murdered. They say women are now taken into account. But we are still being murdered.
