| dc.description.notes | Victorian study consulted women from two newly arrived communities (Mainland Chinese and Iraqi/Chaldean) about family violence using culturally appropriate focus groups. Individual community leaders and workers within the region also consulted to generate knowledge about community education strategies and improvements to service delivery. Emerging themes from both groups of women included issues of shame and embarrassment, suppression of their needs in the context of violence and influence of traditional beliefs, especially for older women. Language and isolation were identified as barriers to gaining information and accessing services. Researchers found women welcomed the opportunity to discuss these issues. The importance of community education campaigns which deal with ‘shame’, acknowledge women’s differences and strengths, emphasise women’s rights and promote the availability of mainstream and ethno-specific services were amongst the report recommendations. Further research is required to explore women's unique solutions to family violence. | en |
