Domestic abuse in Asian communities
Janay Rice, the wife of NFL star Ray Rice sticks up for her man after he punched her unconscious and dragged her out of a hotel lift. Since then the American footballer has been sacked from his team and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. His partner Janay says she is "hurt beyond words" over how her husband has been treated. Can you understand why she would stick up for her husband who beat her unconscious? Does the Asian community accept domestic abuse in a relationship?
