LAKEWOOD, Ohio-The first time her screams brought police to the house, the Lakewood mother lied. She told the officers that her husband did not strike her. She asked that her anonymity be protected because she fears further angering her husband or his family. She is a Palestinian Muslim who last year took a step almost unheard of in her community. She declared herself a victim of domestic violence, secured an order of protection against her husband and filed for divorce. Advocates for immigrant women hope more battered wives and girlfriends follow her path. Recently, an unprecedented coalition of women has come together to confront domestic violence in their immigrant communities. They hope to throw a lifeline to victims-even to those reluctant to be rescued.
