This online course has been prepared specifically for settlement workers in Refugee Assistance Programs to provide information to understand the complex situations of government-assisted refugee women in Ontario when they experience domestic violence.

The course will explore a holistic framework for understanding domestic violence that includes definitions, the unique risk factors that refugee women face and elements of a culturally competent response. It will present strategies and tools to use when violence is suspected, disclosed, or witnessed.
