One instance, she says, is the lack of coverage following the shooting in Atlanta, in which eight people, mostly women of Asian descent, were killed. Itโs an act of gender violence, and itโs part of a long-time problem of Asian women being minimized only down to our sexuality,โ Dumapias said. State Rep.
