Migrant women are particularly vulnerable to\u00a0technology-facilitated<\/span>\u00a0domestic\u00a0abuse<\/a>\u00a0discussed findings from the article\u00a0Technology-Facilitated Domestic and Family Violence: Women\u2019s Experiences.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Migrant women who are affected by domestic violence may be especially vulnerable to technology-facilitated abuse due to factors like limitations on work and social support, distance from supportive family and friends, and language barriers. Funding for services and support as well as policy changes are needed to address this problem.<\/p>\n

eSafetywomen<\/a> has developed a set of seven guides to help women assess their own tech safety needs, available in several languages.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

eSafetywomen<\/a> also provides training for frontline\u00a0DV workers and a suite of educational materials about technology safety is available via their website.<\/p>\n

In Queensland, <\/span>Immigrant Women Support Service\u00a0<\/a>provides\u00a0free confidential, support to immigrant and refugee women from non-English speaking backgrounds and their children affected by domestic and sexual violence.<\/span><\/p>\n

WESNET’s Safety Net Australia<\/a> initiative also offers resources for women affected by technology facilitated abuse and professionals who work with them.<\/p>\n
