Notes:	Advises that workers assisting women from a non English speaking background experiencing domestic violence should be aware of issues of homelessness and cultural issues. Examines the effect, to women from a non English speaking background, of cuts to Legal Aid, inadequate and inappropriate provision of interpreters by police, courts and social services, difficulties in obtaining protection orders and statutory declarations, lack of access and long wait for public housing, prevalence of mental illness and lack of income support. Asserts that these issues make women from a non English speaking background more vulnerable to homelessness.
