Bill aims to address domestic violence within Minnesota’s Southeast Asian community from MinnPost, 03/29/2016

Now some Minnesota lawmakers are trying to make it easier for women who came to Minnesota from Southeast Asia, like Grace, to leave abusive relationships. Rep. Karen Clark, DFL-Minneapolis, and Sen.
