Consider the following:
1
...
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
...

Financial Insecurity and Dependence
● Immigrant families to Canada regularly face financial difficulties as they can find it hard to
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)
...
, 2012)
...
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
● An absence of language capability might make it hard for ladies to comprehend their
freedoms connected with their migration status (Chaze and Medhekar, 2017) or
comprehend their privileges and assets which can build ladies' weakness to oppressive
circumstances

...
This keeps ladies from tracking down
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

) 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?
● Globally, domestic violence at home against females is normal across societies, religions,
classes, and nationalities
...
The most pervasive type of viciousness
against females overall is domestic violence at home
...
It has drawn
consideration from the clinical local area since it hurtfully affects the psychological,
physical, and social strength of females
...
Violence
is frequently not limited to the current spouse yet may stretch out to sweethearts,
previous husbands, and other relatives like guardians, kin, and parents-in-law
...
From newborn children to older, it influences
individuals in all phases of life and can prompt a long period of physical, enthusiasm, and
monetary issues
...
For Elham's situation of viciousness, it is essential to decide the
pervasiveness, qualities, and explanations behind domestic violence at home detailed
against grown-up and juvenile ladies
...

...
To comprehend these effects
assists with understanding the intricacies of domestic violence at home
...
Normally, it includes rehashed examples of misuse, including physical,
mental, passionate, and practical maltreatment
...
Domestic violence at home is caused all of
the time by the culprit, never the person in the victim
...
As kids develop and grow, each age presents new learning

undertakings
...

Youngsters might start to show enthusiastic or social issues, like rest unsettling influences,
escalated frighten responses and steady stress over conceivable risk
...

They might emulate and become familiar with the negative, unfortunate, oppressive
mentalities and practices of the culprit of domestic violence at home
...
When presented with aggressive behavior at home,
newborn children and babies discover that guardians might be unequipped for reliably
reacting to their requirements, which obstructs the advancement of a solid baby parent
bond
...

Preschoolers
● Preschoolers are figuring out how to communicate their feelings in general, including those
of animosity and outrage
...
They become mistaken
for blended messages of everything they see versus what they are said
...
Preschoolers are starting to find out with regards to orientation jobs
in light of social messages
...


School-age children
● School-age children have their very own expanded emotions and the emotions of others
...
A child between the ages of 6 - 11 has
their essential self-idea spinning around scholastic and social achievement
...
They
might be diverted; miss hearing positive articulations made by instructors and companions
and may focus harder on regrettable reactions
...
They are more defenseless to tolerating off base,
undesirable clarifications heard to pardon viciousness, for example, liquor causes brutality
or that the casualty merits the maltreatment
...
) What are the different impacts that experiences of abuse can have on individuals,
families, and communities?
