{"product_id":"hiding-in-plain-sight-wendy-chan-9781773631882","title":"Hiding in Plain Sight: Immigrant Women and Domestic Violence","description":"\u003cp\u003eImmigrant women are not only at greater risk of experiencing domestic violence but they also under-utilize mainstream services because their needs are not adequately met there. Understanding their situation involves recognizing that their views and experiences of domestic violence are influenced by the intersections of gender, race, class and immigration. Immigrant women may not access these services because they are unavailable in their community or the women are not aware of the services, or because the services and intervention strategies are not linguistically and culturally appropriate, portable, or coordinated with other services. As a result, the outcomes and solutions provided are often compromised and unsatisfactory. Many immigrant women stay in the abusive relationship, essentially hiding in plain sight, due to the inadequate support available and despite the extraordinary efforts of many service providers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on interviews with service providers from the immigration, criminal justice and family justice systems in four different communities in BC, Hiding in Plain Sight examines the barriers encountered by abused immigrant women across Canada as they seek services and support, and identifies the key challenges for abused immigrant women accessing services as well as the struggles service organizations experience in meeting their needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Chan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773631888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773631882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Wendy Chan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941670060287,"sku":"9781773631882","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2e376079-34d3-4abb-8f0d-062d78ea5c13.jpg?v=1681454277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hiding-in-plain-sight-wendy-chan-9781773631882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
