| dc.description.notes | General Overview: In a paper to the National Homelessness Conference, workers from Immigrant Women’s Support Service discuss barriers to housing for women from Non-English Speaking Backgrounds [NESB] and practice strategies to support their specific needs. The Brisbane based speakers identify the greater risk of homelessness that NESB clients experience, due to barriers to reporting family violence and a lack of access to information about family violence and support services. The speakers suggest that incorporating inclusivity practices into support and information services would decrease the risk of homelessness for women from NESB.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The speakers discuss the barriers for women from NESB that contribute to a lack of information and support, that ultimately contributes to greater rates of homelessness for this group. They discuss the’ personal barriers’ of NESB women including: a lack of knowledge about what constitutes violence in Australia; language and communication barriers; personal fears; isolation; problems obtaining a visa; lack of income or lack of income support.<br/ ><br/ >In order to change this situation and decrease the rate of homelessness amongst women from NESB The speakers recommend creating a culture of inclusive practice in violence prevention agencies and agencies providing information to women about violence. | en |
