This Wrap aims to raise awareness of the circumstances of refugee and immigrant women who are survivors of sexual violence as they establish new lives in Australia – the lifetime journey that may haunt them, the continuing trauma they may suffer, and the personal and systemic barriers they meet in accessing support. The authors: bring to light the issues faced by counsellors and women victim/survivors as they traverse two cultures; define some of the expectations and assumptions that women encounter when they attempt to access support services; discuss how this can result in exclusion and discrimination for some women; and suggest good practice for service providers.
