CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE WOMEN

Why is the health of culturally and linguistically diverse women an issue?

Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women (women from non-English speaking backgrounds) face multiple disadvantages and challenges.

They experience systemic disadvantage as a result of policy deficiencies and limitations in access to social services, as well as racial, cultural and gender discrimination. This negatively impacts on their ability to access employment and healthcare services.

Promoting community-led responses to violence against immigrant and refugee women in metropolitan and regional Australia: The ASPIRE Project: State of knowledge paper

Publisher: Anrows, 2015

Status – CURRENT

This state of knowledge paper examines a broad range of national and international research to present the current knowledge about family violence against immigrant and refugee women.  While the paper identifies critical evidence on the topic, it acknowledges that much of the available literature has methodological issues, including incomplete and inconclusive prevalence data; small sample sizes; and conceptualising family violence in ways that are not recognised by immigrant and refugee communities.

Status – CURRENT

In 1996 over 40,000 Australian women were invited  take part in a long term project which would survey  the health of women across the nation, over time.   The participants were selected in three age cohorts:  younger women aged 18-23, mid-age women aged  45-50, and older women aged 70-75. These groups  were deliberately chosen in order to recruit women  before they passed through major turning points in  women’s lives. With eight years of change now tracked in the  surveys, the study is providing insights into major  trends in the lives of Australian women.
