Considering the Influence of Premigration Trauma on Postmigration Stress and Domestic/Intimate Partner Violence among Immigrants and Refugees in Canada
Vulnerabilities and Inequities
Migrant and refugee women are vulnerable to gender-based violence (GBV) at multiple points along the migratory pathway, including after they arrive in Canada. Their vulnerability in Canada is related to legal and policy frameworks to (im)migration, settlement and integration but also to the precarious nature of social services for migrant and refugee survivors of GBV. Drawing upon theorizing on intersectionality, vulnerability and precarity, this…
Exploring Resilience Among Survivors of Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence in Rural Canada
In this article, we explore survivor strategies for safety and the development of resilience in the context of domestic and intimate partner violence (D/IPV) experienced in rural Canada. Through the thematic analysis of 24 qualitative interviews, this paper identifies several ways that survivors sought safety on individual, relational, and community levels. Engaging a social ecological understanding of resilience, we highlight how the close-knit …
The continuum of gender-based violence experienced by migrant and refugee women in Canada
Little research has been done on conceptualizing gender-based violence (GBV) against immigrant and refugee women as a continuum of violence. The objective of the larger study was to understand gender-based violence in migration and analyze the ways in which discriminations and inequalities interact to increase vulnerability and decrease access to supports and services for some women. Using (a) the concept of continuum of [sexual] violence and (b)…
Surviving Gender-Based Violence
Many migrant and refugee women (MRW) experience different forms of gender-based violence (GBV) along the migratory pathway. GBV is rooted in intersecting structures of domination and extends beyond individual experiences to include the failure of policies and practices to protect women. In this article, through the lenses of "key informants" (KIs), we explore how MRW express resilience to GBV in the face of intersecting structural inequalities th…
Interfaith photovoice
Religion is highly visible in the daily activities of Canadians yet the visibility of religious diversity has become a source of tension and conflict. The Interfaith Photovoice (IFPV) Initiative harnesses the visibility of religion and uses the photovoice process to strengthen relationships between Muslims and Christians, bridge cultural divides, encourage mutual advocacy, and engage communities around questions of faith and religious diversity. …

Training Religious Leaders and Faith-Based Resources
Few religious leaders feel well equipped to respond to the needs of families impacted by abuse, and neither do recent seminary graduates. There is a chasm between the needs of pastors for preparation to respond to this critical social issue and current levels of training and preparation. This chapter explores the process and content of training religious leaders to respond compassionately and with best practices to abuse in their congregations an…
Collaborative Community Responses
Religious leaders can be part of the solution to domestic violence, not just part of the problem. This concept is rather difficult for many of those working in advocacy, the criminal justice field, or even intervention services to believe. Often, it has not been true in their experience of working with religious women, men, or children caught in the web of abuse. This chapter discusses many of the features of collaborative community-based respons…
Congregations
At its best, congregational life operates as a church family in which members celebrate with those who are joyous and weep with those who are suffering. They offer assistance, guidance, and friendship. They worship together and seek to live their lives according to the principles that they share. At its worst, congregational life operates as a dysfunctional family in which controlling, abusive behavior abounds, support is non-existent, jealousy a…
Victims/Survivors
Many women throughout the world have suffered the abuse of an intimate partner in a dating, common-law, or marital relationship. Focusing on data collected over many years, this chapter examines some of the contours of how women of faith talk about their experience of domestic violence and their search for practical and spiritual resources in its aftermath. The chapter examines issues of safety, fear, guilt, uncertainty, forgiveness, and creating…
Abusers
Focusing on data collected from interviews and focus groups with men who have acted abusively, this chapter tells the story of men’s lives by reflecting on their childhood, trouble with the law, altercations with family and friends, and their early days of intimacy. Most men who batter do not believe they are violent. This chapter focuses on how religious beliefs and practices intersect with, and impact, the experience of controlling, abusive beh…
Naming the Abuse, Establishing Networks and Forging Negotiations
This chapter describes three stories from the research data that will help to illustrate the concepts of naming, negotiating and networking as they apply to contemporary Christian women's experiences of domestic violence. Few priests or pastors are willing to refer to secular personnel or agencies - those that are experts in domestic violence - the women who seek their assistance and guidance in the aftermath of abuse at home. Many contemporary c…
Religion and Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence is a complex, fear-inducing reality for large numbers of women throughout the world. When violence exists in a relationship, safety is compromised, shame abounds, and peace evaporates. Violence is learned behavior, and it flourishes most when it is ignored, minimized, or misunderstood. When violence strikes the homes of deeply religious women, they are more vulnerable. They are more likely to believe that their abusive p…

An intersectional theoretical framework grounds the analysis of qualitative data collected from 89 Christian and Muslim women from 27 countries of origin who arrived in the region ten years prior to the field work. Their strengths include high levels of education, experiences of overc…
