Building the Framework - Bridging Social Gaps - Supporting Women From Diverse Communities Experiencing Family Violence
Abstract
Domestic and family violence cuts across cultural, linguistic, class and economic boundaries. Each survivors experience of violence is unique to their circumstances and each survivors' journey is propelled by their unique eco-system.
This eco-system influences their experiences of support, their scope of recovery and their ability to move forward in safety and wellbeing.
Key Learnings:
- Talk about the unique challenges experienced by women and children from culturally diverse backgrounds in accessing support.
- Unpack the language of family violence across different cultures and the way in which these impacts support seeking.
- Take the participants through the intersectional factors that act as barriers for support seeking.
- Look at approaches to identify and amplify protective factors of culture and language.
- Create , maintain and enhance social capital for women from marginalised, culturally diverse communities to improve their experiences with family violence services.
- Present case studies that demonstrate strength-based approaches that yield positive outcomes.
