| dc.description.notes | General Overview: This report into the UK Government’s handling of domestic violence cases among women who have ‘no recourse’ to public funds uses numerous case studies to illustrate the legal limbo in which these immigrant wives and workers live.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The authors of this report document the shortcomings of legislation created to protect women living in the United Kingdom without secure resident status. In 2002, the Domestic Violence Rule was introduced to allow a woman who is a spouse or long-term partner of a British national or someone who is settled there, to apply to stay in the UK permanently if their relationship breaks down during the two-year probationary period and if she can prove that domestic violence was the cause. However, in 2003 a Government consultation paper, whilst acknowledging that these women faced particular difficulties while dependent on immigration control, specifically denied them access to social security benefits. In practice, this has resulted in women being denied support and accommodation that is crucial to their wellbeing.<br/ ><br/ >Lastly, the authors discuss the children who are put at both physical and psychological risk from parental violence. The impact of this violence is compounded by the insecurity surrounding basic food and shelter requirements when women leave a violent relationship. | en |
