Exploring the impact of domestic violence on children, within a CALD context CASE STUDY: Jay and Anita
Issues • Migration to Australia – impact on the family • Children born – child care issues • Under employment • Role expectations – in the family and in the community • Isolation – forced and unforced • Abusive behaviour occurring in a regular pattern • Language barriers • Barriers to seeking help – reporting, what if others come to know, fear of being ostracised
Impact on the children • Avoiding the perpetrator; being on guard when approaching him • Mother’s extended family support – sense of security • Inability to make friends at school – withdrawn – making it up by focusing on studies • Lack of expression
Children in domestic violence • Victims, both directly and indirectly • Impact on their development – physical, psychological • Manifestations • Family relationsips • Resilience
From "A Heart for Children" • One hundred years from nowIt will not matterWhat kind of car I drove,What kind of house I lived in,How much I had in the bankNor what my clothes looked like. • One hundred years from now It will not matterWhat kind of school I attended,What kind of typewriter I used,How large or small my church,But the world may be. . . a little better because . . .I was importantin the lifeof a child.Margaret Fishback Powers
