Numerous obstacles hinder immigrant women with precarious immigration status when they attempt to leave their partners.
Firstly, it is not uncommon for spouses to exploit this vulnerable immigration status as a means to exert control over their victims. Additionally, it is crucial to note that several fundamental rights, such as access to social housing and employment opportunities, remain inaccessible to individuals with precarious immigration status. These limitations can compel women to remain trapped in abusive relationships or return to violent partners despite the physical and psychological dangers they endure.
At MFT, our dedicated staff provides support to victims from diverse cultural backgrounds, regardless of their immigration status. We assist them by explaining the available services they can access to ensure their safety and well-being.
