# 本期工作坊

2024年1月16日，谷歌工程师陈某某在位于加州硅谷的家中被捕。当警方赶到时，其妻子于某已经身亡。经调查，陈某某于前一晚用拳头连续殴打妻子于某头部致其死亡。

这起震惊华人社会的家暴案件再次揭开了美国千万华人家庭中血淋淋的一角。在就业、种族、性别歧视等重重压迫之下，还有更多有语言障碍、受教育程度低、残疾以及年迈的华人女性长期遭受着亲密关系暴力带来的痛苦。

在本次工作坊，我们将分析美国华人女性作为系统性结构暴力中的少数群体所面临的挑战，并以谷歌工程师杀妻案作为切入点探究家庭暴力成因，探讨女性的权利与保护。

Unmasking Domestic Violence Among Chinese Americans: From the Chinese Google Software Engineer’s Murder Case to Structural and Survivor Empowerment In Broader Chicago Area

Unmasking Domestic Violence Among Chinese Americans: From the Chinese Google Software Engineer’s Murder Case to Structural and Survivor Empowerment In Broader Chicago Area

On January 16th, 2024, Google software engineer Liren Chen was arrested under domestic abuse and first-degree murder in his house in Santa Clara, CA. He was accused of beating his wife to death in their home in Santa Clara, California. Chen had admitted to punching Yu on her head until her last breath and ultimately causing her fatal death during the instigation.

Chen and Yu had everything any immigrant to the U.S. could ever wish for – a master’s degree from an internationally renowned institution, a top-tier job with a decent salary at Google, and a long-term relationship that dated back to their undergraduate days.

For many, it is hard to believe domestic violence could have happened in today’s society, let alone in a family like this. The truth is that there are even many more undereducated, non-English speaking, disabled, and/or elderly Chinese women struggling under the double oppression of intimate relationship violence and economic, racial and gender discrimination. 

As we celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we seek to unveil through this workshop the systemic structural problems that Chinese Americans face as a vulnerable population that significantly obstructs advocacy of Chinese women’s rights. From Liren Chen’s murder case, we will delve into the demographics of these domestic violence cases and seek possible solutions to advocate for domestic violence survivors’ rights and support systems.
