520 _aIntimate partner violence is facilitated through the isolation of migrant/refugee women from our networks of support. The violence that migrant/refugee women experience is especially severe in relationships with pākehā men, whose power is distributed through systems of the colonial capitalist patriarchy, and whose empowerment is further found through their existing social and family support networks. With precarious visa statuses, migrant/refugee communities' entire lives are within the control of our colonial immigration system, and the legal system itself is not a system that safeguards the human rights of these communities' members. Does our mainstream feminist discourse likewise recognise the indigenous women in the Pacific who have been fighting for decades to save their ancestral lands from drowning in our rising sea levels?
