Engendering Change: Transforming Gender Roles in Asian and Pacific Islander Communities

This report grew out of a round-table discussion with battered women’s advocates and providers of Batterer Intervention Programs (BIPs) with the following objectives: (1) To address the intersections of race, class and gender; (2) To articulate how advocates and providers can forge theory and practice about BIPs and men’s work in ending violence against API women; and (3) To identify culturally contextualized principles and practices that can transform gender roles in API communities.
