Notes:	Violence against women perpetrated by male partners, or ex partners, is one of the most concerning and prevalent public health issues in the world today and is a major cause of injury and mental illness among women and children. Violence against women occurs in most societies irrespective of culture, socio-economic status or religion. Nevertheless, it has been identified that immigrant and refugee women are particularly at risk in cases of domestic violence (Easteal 1996; Narayan 1997; Human Rights Watch 2000; Walter 2001; Perilla 2003; Kang Kahler & Tesar 2003;). To make sense of this issue, we articulate an intersectional feminist framework that we used to analyse the results of an empirical investigation of men’s violence against women in refugee families in Melbourne.
