Abstract

Using interviews of 26 nonprofit domestic violence advocates, this article analyzes how South Asian-focused nonprofit organizations in the United States address the domestic violence-related intersectional needs of Asian Indian marriage migrants and the challenges they encounter in doing so. Our research indicates that these organizations offer services addressing a combination of structural and cultural needs that emerge from their clients' social locations, but these organizations also encounter challenges in providing services targeting the specific subgroups of Asian Indian marriage migrants. To meet the intersectional needs of clients, there should be greater coalition-building within and between Asian Indian-focused and mainstream organizations.
