Notes:	Abstract: "Domestic violence is a serious social issue within New Zealand society. Asian immigrant women with domestic violence experiences often face specific sociocultural challenges and barriers that hinder them from making sense of their experience, seeking help and accessing necessary intervention. In New Zealand, there is limited domestic violence research which focuses on the lived experience of women in Asian immigrant communities. This research attempts to fill this gap by exploring Chinese women's experience of domestic violence in New Zealand. It explores the dynamics of domestic violence in the context of family, community and immigration and the impact of violence on Chinese women's health and wellbeing. It examines the cultural and gendered factors which shape Chinese women's experiences and their helpseeking strategies. This research identifies barriers facing the women when they seek help from their informal and formal support networks. It also examines, from the Chinese women's perspective, the role of the Chinese community and statutory and community-based services in offering effective intervention to Chinese women." Open source
