Some approaches have been successful and have been used in multicultural communities. You should know that we approached prominent community figures: priests, imams and all those who represent something significant within the community. We didn't want the information to remain solely with us, with the agencies. We shared it with everyone, men and women alike. Some men beat their wives, and they would not want us to know that they are violent towards their wives at home. So we tackled the problem at the community level. By informing everyone, we can have a greater impact than if we target only women.
