Immigrant women more hesitant to report abuse

Although this story was written in 2004, the facts remain the same. Immigrant women are not forthcoming in reporting violence. They consider how this will reflect on their family and many fear they will be rejected by their community. 
Being part of a community, being respected and included is something many immigrant women hold dearly. How do we unloosen their tongue and their courage?
