Why is it important to understand the different elements that make up a woman's history and
background when you are supporting them in a domestic violence case?
3
...
What are the different impacts that experiences of abuse can have on individuals, families, and
communities?
5
...
How would you work with the woman to address those barriers and their impact on her
personal life?
7
...
In a few of the cases, the woman's family insisted she continues to stay in an abusive
relationship
...
Preferential treatment to males is common among many cultures
...
(1995)

Immigrated under a
Student visa (in 1980)
...
He comes from a powerful and influential family with ties to his home country's government
secret service
...

There is a significant age gap between Elham and her spouse; she is over twenty years younger than he
is
...

Settlement in Canada
Upon arrival in Canada, Elham wanted to return to school to complete her dentistry education
...
He told her that he wanted her to look after the home and start their
family
...
Elham has one sister living in Canada but the rest
of her family remained in their home country
...
In fact, Dawood brought the woman on Elham's and Dawood's honeymoon, ostensibly
as a photo- and videographer
...
She was also a title holder on Elham's and
Dawood's first matrimonial home alongside the couple
...
She was isolated in the home and her spouse controlled whom she socialized with
...

From the beginning of their marriage, Elham suffered significant abuse at Dawood's hands
...
He would threaten to kill
her and said that 'going to jail would be worth every minute if she were dead'
...
The children witnessed the ongoing violence and they
would often plead with their father to stop
...
As Dawood held the children's passports, had family in high positions, and Dawood himself
worked in the airline industry, this threat was very real
...
The children were not comfortable providing this information about their mother
and would not comply
...
He would
become angry and yell at the children
...
He was inconsistent in his behaviour as there were
other times that he would bring them gifts
...

Elham disclosed the abuse to her family doctor and he began to treat her for the symptoms she
presented
...
Elham
stated that, as time passed, she became wiser, stronger, and less tolerant to the abuse
...

The children were instructed not to call her 'mother'
...
Elham had no money of her own and Dawood did not provide her with any financial support
...
She had
previously earned her real estate license, but Dawood did not let her renew it
...
Dawood had built up a significant debt of
$600,000 from risky financial decisions and financial fraud, which included applying for thirty-six credit
cards under Elham's name
...
Elham did not sign this agreement
...

In March 2008, Elham's family went on a weeklong cruise with another family
...
After an argument
one night, Elham was scared and hid in her friends' cabin
...
He said he was going to kill her and throw her off the ship into the water
...
Elham managed to tell
the ship's security officer and they secured another room for her for the remainder of the trip
...

Upon arriving back from the cruise, Elham went to live with her sister in the same city but would travel
back to the marital home to cook, clean, and take care of the children while Dawood was at work
...
Two
months later she moved back into the marital home but was relegated to the basement
...
Elham complied
...
At
this point Dawood began taunting her by recording her with a camcorder (as he sometimes did)
...
She told Dawood she would not live with the abuse any
longer
...
The officers kept Dawood
busy while Elham packed her belongings
...
There were no
charges laid and Dawood tried to convince the police she was the one who attacked him
...

Elham sought a restraining order against her spouse, which was put into effect for sixteen months
...

Resolution
After the restraining order ended, Elham and her spouse, with the court's intervention, agreed to a visitation
schedule
...
The Children's Aid Society was involved
...
Dawood continues trying to mislead the courts with a
different version of the events leading up to the separation
...
Elham is seeking Joint custody and would support
access to the children, under the condition her spouse seeks help with anger and drinking issues
...

track down reasonable and supportable work because of many factors, for example,
absence of certification acknowledgment, boss assumptions for Canadian work insight, and
language/emphasize hindrances (Chaze, 2017)
...

...
Racialized settlers
are much bound to encounter decreases in financial status and it might take them longer
to recuperate their money remaining in ensuing ages (Basavarajappa and Jones, 1999;
Kazemipur and Halli, 2000; Okeke-Ihejirika and Salami, 2018)
...

Cultural Beliefs and Practices
● Gender roles change significantly across the world; there are broad contrasts in how
families simply decide, and how people partition work and obligations inside a family
...
The writing proposes that men are by and large viewed as the essential
entertainers in relocation and have more office in choosing when and where to emigrate
...

Language Barriers

freedoms connected with their migration status (Chaze and Medhekar, 2017) or
comprehend their privileges and assets which can build ladies' weakness to oppressive
circumstances

work and at last leftover ward on the victimizer monetarily (Tam et al
...
Having
restricted comprehension about their new surroundings, and restricted ability to clarify
what is happening makes migrant ladies powerless against additional maltreatment
...
Confinement further worsens harmful circumstances as they have no
backings to go to
...
In Canada, outsiders can be deprived of these socially fitting backings, passing on
them to explore the struggle and tough spots alone

●

Every day, the wellbeing and prosperity of children the country over are undermined by
children misuse and disregard
...
The youngster government assistance field is
attempting to track down viable ways of serving families where this cross-over happens
...

The Child Abuse and Neglect User Manual Series has given direction on kid security to a
huge number of multidisciplinary experts and concerned local area individuals since the
last part of the 1970s
...
As
the years progressed, the manuals have filled in as significant assets for building
information, advancing viable practices, and upgrading local area coordinated efforts
...

In 1853, Children's Aid was established by Yale College graduate and humanitarian, Charles
Loring Brace, with monetary help from New York finance managers and donors, to
guarantee the physical and passionate prosperity of kids, and give them the help expected
to become effective grown-ups
...

unimportant robbery, pack participation, or obligation to correctional facilities,
almshouses, and orphanages
...

abusive relationship

needs
