520 _aThis article summarises some of the critical barriers ethnic and migrant women face when trying to leave a violent relationship. The article also discusses some of the specific ways in which immigration policy intersects with other jurisdictions to suppress help- seeking behaviour by victims and deter them from leaving abusive relationships. The article draws on the writer’s experience working through Community Law Wellington & Hutt Valley with ethnic and migrant victim survivors of FVSV and also victims of migrant workplace exploitation where cultural-based power dynamics are also observed but in the context of employment relationships. While the focus in this article is FVSV, the writer has observed that in both contexts, (FVSV and migrant exploitation): (a) immigration policy is failing vulnerable people in migrant and ethnic communities; (b) structural, bureaucratic and other barriers are furthering victims’ entrapment, preventing them from accessing support, and failing to hold perpetrators to account; and (c) there are gaps in understanding intersectional barriers and challenges, and decisions in one domain such as employment, social welfare or criminal or family jurisdictions are often made with seemingly little awareness of either cultural factors or immigration-related consequences, and this can have devastating impacts on victim- survivors of violence. (From the article). Record #8693
