“…Factors associated with DVAW among migrant women include language barriers, uncertain legal status, migration laws, availability and accessibility to resources, and economic support (McWilliams & Yarnell, 2013). Migrant women may not report or seek help because culturally they perceive DVAW as a family issue (Belur, 2008; Condon, Lisse, & Schrottle, 2011), and shame and honor influence the acknowledgment and reporting of violence (Belur, 2008; Thiara & Gill, 2010). The primary help and support offered for abused migrant women comes mainly from female family and friends within their communities (Dutton, Orloff, & Hass, 2000).…”

“…These situations give men increased power and control over wives which can escalate to abuse (Wellock, 2010). Black and minority women including Asians, Middle Easterns, and North Africans experience greater rates of violence, male domination, and control, and stay longer in abusive relationships compared with other women in the population (Condon et al, 2011).…”

Domestic violence against women (DVAW) is a worldwide phenomenon and refers to any act committed against women that results in physical and psychological harm, and coercion, loss of liberty, and deprivation. There is a dearth of research and information about the extent and prevalence of domestic violence among Libyan communities. The aim of the study was to explore community knowledge of, and attitudes toward, DVAW and to improve our understanding of the factors that influence knowledge, attitudes, and responses, particularly educational and gender differences. Using snowball sampling, we analyzed 20 semistructured interviews with Libyans living in Manchester, United Kingdom. We found gender and education-influenced participants' perception of DVAW. Men in general did not recognize DVAW as a serious social problem; noticeably, they saw it as a personal and family issue. Knowing attitudes toward DVAW is necessary for government and communities' prevention policies as attitudes influence perpetration of DVAW.

“…In this regard, both the relevant literature and human rights bodies cite migration status as a factor of structural vulnerability, particularly because of the social isolation, material and legal precariousness, and experiences of discrimination or stigmatization it often entails (Condon et al 2011 , pp. 68–70; Meyersfeld 2012 , pp.…”

This article takes a closer look at intimate partner violence (IPV) and its semantical, political, and legal interactions with crisis and crisis discourse. Starting from the fact that IPV has been called a “shadow pandemic” and a “hidden crisis”, the article conceptualizes two parallel phenomena: how the COVID-19 pandemic — and crises in general — impact on IPV by exacerbating vulnerabilities and how crisis discourse has been mobilized to argue for a responsive state and strong positive obligations to combat and reduce IPV. The article then draws a parallel between crisis discourse and vulnerability reasoning, analyzing how vulnerability has played a similar role within the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and led the latter to develop a consistent strand of case law concretizing states’ positive obligations. The article also takes a critical stance, examining the risks of crisis discourse and vulnerability when viewed through a crisis lens. To counter these risks, it argues for a nuanced, structural, and dynamic understanding of vulnerability and a focus on resilience-building institutions and mechanisms. Within the ECtHR case law, this signifies elaborating upon the already existing positive obligations, including by taking inspiration from the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention). Such an approach is necessary to leave behind the emergency time usually associated with crises and work toward lasting structural change.

“…Asian women are often under a lot of pressure and feel guilty to report domestic abuse because of the fear of letting their family and community down, bringing shame and dishonour to their family and the community (Belur, 2008). Minority women experience higher rates of violence, male domination and control, and stay longer in abusive relationships (Condon et al, 2011).A survey of attitudes towards domestic violence within Camden"s Asian communities found that the majority of respondents were aware of domestic violence and its different forms. The survey found economic abuse and control as a dominant form of domestic violence.…”

We surveyed one hundred and seventy five Libyans in Manchester in order to assess their attitudes and perceptions of domestic violence against women (DVAW). Overall, 82% of the participants agreed that the definition of DVAW involves verbal abuse, economic abuse, threat to use violence, physical and sexual violence. Ninety-five percent agreed that if the husband shouts at his wife, curses her, pulls or pushes her, punches her, or breaks things in the house, these behaviours reflect DVAW. Unemployment (80%) and lack of material resources (70%) were the major perceived contributing factors regarding DVAW. We discuss the implications of the study and its limitations.
