| dc.description.notes | <i>General Overview:</i/> This Australian report employs the notion of cumulative risk factors to analyse and understand the incidence and experience of domestic and family violence in resettled refugee communities in Australia.<br/ ><br/ ><i>Discussion:</i/> In this report, the author examines the complex dynamics impacting on refugee families during flight, in transit and in countries of resettlement in order to identify and understand the reasons contributing to the different dimensions of domestic violence within refugee communities. Pre-arrival risk factors identified include: the impact of war and conflict; experiences of violence and sexual abuse in refugee camps; torture and trauma; rigid gender roles and traditional masculinities; and cultural constraints on discussing family issues. Risk factors associated with the settlement experience include: cultural and generational conflict and changing gender roles; financial and housing stress; social isolation and language barriers; and unrealistic expectations regarding resettlement.<br/ ><br/ >The report also examines the adequacy of Australian settlement services for refugees and the impact of working with refugee populations on domestic violence and other social service workers. It identifies a need for further education and training of staff working with refugee communities and the education of refugee communities themselves regarding their rights and responsibilities within the Australian context. The report concludes that domestic violence in refugee communities must be addressed as part of a comprehensive package of settlement services that address the complex pre- and post- arrival experiences of refugee women and families. | en |
