HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- On a chilly Sunday afternoon, Sunita Chauhan and about 150 other people formed a human chain in support of ending domestic violence, especially for those in the Indian culture.

In her native country, there is tremendous, longstanding pressure to not discuss troubling matters outside the family, even when it involves a wife or daughter being assaulted, Chauhan said. And there is a just as much pressure to keep families together, so many women don't say anything that could break the family apart, she added.
