澳大利亚移民和难民背景的女性在离开家庭暴力关系时遭遇更多困难。根据2020年全国调查，约1,400名移民和难民女性中有三分之一在过去五年经历过家庭暴力1。相比之下，四分之一的澳大利亚女性自15岁以来经历过亲密伴侣暴力1。这一群体因多重因素而难以寻求帮助，其中包括文化污名、经济依赖、社交孤立和对执法部门的担忧1。
临时签证女性面临的风险尤为突出1。她们往往依赖伴侣获得签证，因此担心遭遣返、经济不安全和失去孩子的监护权，这使她们陷入更加脆弱的处境1。强制控制的手段也在演进，施暴者可能通过数字监控和追踪技术进一步孤立受害者1。
为了改善对这一群体的保护，需要采取多方面措施1。这包括设计符合文化安全标准的服务、开展社区教育、吸纳宗教领袖参与，以及培训一线工作人员1。澳大利亚《2022-32年终止暴力侵害妇女儿童国家计划》已将文化和语言多样性女性列为优先人群1。需要帮助的受害者可拨打全国性暴力侵害妇女儿童咨询热线1800 RESPECT（1800 737 732），该热线24小时全天可用1。
Migrant and refugee women in Australia experience disproportionately high rates of domestic violence and encounter substantial obstacles when attempting to leave abusive partners. According to a national survey of approximately 1,400 women, one in three migrant and refugee women have experienced domestic violence over the past five years, compared to one in four Australian women overall since age 15.1
Women on temporary visas face particular vulnerability due to their dependence on partners for visa sponsorship, creating fears of deportation, economic insecurity, and loss of child custody.1 Beyond these structural barriers, victims often confront cultural stigma, social isolation, and economic dependency that complicate their path to safety.1 Abusers may employ technological means such as digital surveillance and tracking to further isolate their victims.1
Addressing these challenges requires multifaceted interventions. The Australian government's 2022–32 National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children identifies women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds as a priority population.1 Recommended improvements include designing culturally safe support services, conducting community education, engaging religious leaders, and providing specialized training to frontline workers.1 Individuals experiencing domestic violence can contact the national helpline 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732), available 24 hours daily.1
