Multicultural and Settlement Services for Women Experiencing Violence

Project Details

The MuSeS study aims to inform strategies that better support immigrant and refugee women and children experiencing family violence. We aim to develop an in-depth understanding of the capacity of settlement and multicultural service providers and volunteers to recognise when women and children are experiencing violence, to implement early intervention initiatives and/or; to provide support to women and children experiencing violence.
