Notes:	Many people affected by domestic and family violence experience shame and fear which prevent them reporting abuse and are exposed to risks when they take action to end the violence. For victims from immigrant and refugee backgrounds, the situation can often be more complex. For these women, disclosure and help seeking can be complicated by factors relating to culture, religion, language, past refugee experiences, current settlement experiences, a lack of access to appropriate services and an absence of family or friends for support. This Fast Facts highlights key issues for immigrant and refugee victims and common recommendations from the literature on how to improve their access to justice, services and protection.
