As the peak body for ethnic and multicultural organisations in Victoria, the ECCV advocates and lobbies all levels of government on behalf of multicultural communities. We advocate on any issue that is of concern to our members. In keeping with this, the following submission is made with a view to the specific concerns and needs of women and children in refugee, migrant and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.
The ECCV would like it to be noted that this submission is not made because violence is more endemic, or profound in CALD communities, it is made because there are access and equity issues and additional measures that need to be considered, in order to better support CALD women and children who experience violence.
