Webinar: Supporting Migrant Workers Experiencing Domestic Violence
Webinar: Supporting Migrant Workers Experiencing Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is prevalent in all communities and COVID-19 has amplified the incidence of such abuses. With quarantine restrictions, precarious employment, and fewer supports available due to the pandemic, domestic abuses have been on the rise. Migrant workers face additional vulnerabilities in accessing supports due to lack of knowledge or availability of service, understanding of the law, language barriers and the cultural differences that may dictate their course of action in such abuses. Addressing the prevalence, impact, and best practices in responding to domestic violence can attribute to better supports for migrant workers.
In this webinar on domestic violence in migrant worker communities, we will examine:
Key terms and concepts of domestic violence including forms of domestic violence, risk factors and abusive relationship cycles
Impacts and risk factors of domestic violence on migrant workers
Strategies for responding to domestic violence for migrant workers
Offering support services including action plans, resources and referrals
