Please visit <a href="https://www.anrows.org.au/register-of-active-and-recent/" style="color: blue;text-decoration: underline;">https://www.anrows.org.au/register-of-active-research/</a> for more information on the RAR.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">BACKGROUND</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">New South Wales has a large and vibrant multicultural community. The practice of dowry remains a central marriage custom in many local communities. With the prevalence of this practice, many South Asian community members in the Parramatta Council LGA have expressed that dowry abuse also affects their communities. Dowry abuse is defined as "any act of violence or harassment associated with the giving or receiving of dowry at any time before, during or after the marriage". This project, therefore, seeks to fill in the "knowledge gaps" regarding this significant issue of domestic and family violence through case file review and focus groups with affected women and the service providers who support them. In doing so the project will produce the following outcomes:</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">1. evidence that helps to identify the core and typical features of dowry abuse</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">2. experiential narratives that clarify the intersectional and socio-ecological factors that perpetuate dowry abuse</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">3. resources to support women, families, communities and services to identify and address dowry abuse.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">AIM</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">The aim of this project is to develop data and evidence about the incidence and impact of dowry abuse within the South Asian community of western Sydney.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">METHODS</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">The research methods will be a brief demographic survey, focus groups and textual analysis. They will be used as follows:</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">- Survey: demographic details about the women who participate in interviews/focus groups will be collected via a short survey.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">- Focus group: to better understand the experiential narratives of women who have survived dowry abuse and service providers who support women in this circumstance, focus groups will be conducted.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">- Textual analysis: case files from partner domestic violence services in Parramatta will be reviewed to help identify core features of dowry abuse in relation to South Asian women from 2014 to the present.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">SIGNIFICANCE</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">Dowry abuse affects the health and wellbeing of women and their communities in ways yet to be fully understood. This project seeks to provide evidence that authentically captures community voices and strengths. In doing so, the data can be utilised in advocacy initiatives and training programs for communities and frontline professionals. This can translate into improved health and wellbeing outcomes with resources to build the capacity of community and service providers to prevent and address dowry abuse.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">PROJECT START DATE</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">December 2020</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style=""><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="">EXPECTED COMPLETION DATE</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="line-height: 107.0%;"><span style="">December 2021</span></span></span></p> | en |
