Two cases in the past week gives us a snapshot of the adverse situations including family violence problems in the Asian or migrant communities in New Zealand. 

Ms Sarwan Lata and Ms Mei Fan both died in violent stabbings. In Lata's case she was trying to get a protection order against her alleged killer, her husband in Newlands Wellington on Tuesday.
