Serving with a purpose : domestic and family violence, CALD communities and COVID19. Preliminary report Muslim Women Australia - Sydney, NSW : Muslim Women Australia, 2021 - electronic document (33 pages) ; PDF file: 1.3 MB

Published December 2021

This report came about purely as a response to the need to streamline the support MWA caseworkers were providing to ensure quality service provision, in a changed service delivery
landscape and the need to capture these experiences.
A therapeutic and healing model was central to this process, in response to the increased levels of anxiety experienced by communities and the increased support women experiencing
domestic and family violence required.

This preliminary report demonstrates and discusses the impacts of COVID19 on CALD
communities in NSW. Further, this report establishes the importance of assessing CALD women’s experiences of DFV during COVID19 within an intersectional framework. This lens
is provided not just to understand the needs, but to understand the impact of the findings as intersecting and compounding challenges as opposed to isolated factors. (From the document). Record #7490
