Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Happy Hearts project, providing health education to young refugee and migrant women.

Migrant and CaLD women are stigmatised and sometimes ostracised for leaving violent relationships. They are accused of breaking up families and bringing “shame” to their families back home and hence they are more reluctant to seek help. These women also rely solely on their partners for their financial and everyday needs which further deters them from reaching out. Additionally, CaLD women usually lack the language skills and knowledge to navigate through the often complex and bureaucratic housing and legal systems.
