Asylum-seeking women , violence & health: results from a pilot study in Scotland and Belgium
Violence against women is a global phenomenon. Studies repeatedly show that women around the world suffer various gender-based forms of physical and sexual abuse, coercion and threats of harm. Women's intimate partners are among the most common perpetrators of violence, but women and girls are also assaulted and intimidated by close and extended family members, acquaintances, neighbours, and other males in positions of power, such as soldiers or police. This report presents the findings from our study on asylum-seeking women in Scotland and Belgium and highlights women's experiences of violence, physical, sexual and psychological morbidity and experiences with the asylum process.
