Steven Kurz, a Sargeant in the Office of the Chief of Dept. for Domestic Violence, is quoted as saying, there are 270,000 DV reports in New York every year, and 677 calls a day. The numbers coming from the Asian community are very low. However, he is aware that undocumented Asians fear that their status would be revealed, preventing them from calling NYPD. He confirmed that the NYPD does NOT care about someone’s immigration status, and police officers are not allowed to inquire about someone’s status. The article mentions project partners NYAWC and KAFSC, and describes Project Speak Out as a campaign to bring about more Domestic Violence awareness. KAFSC’s Executive Director Grace Yoon is quoted.
