GD-23-02Publication details: Pathum Thani, Thailand : Asian Institute of Technology, 2023Description: 172 leaves : illSubject(s): Online resources: Dissertation note: Research Studies Project Report (M. Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2023 Summary: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors for barriers that immigrant women, especially Filipina mothers victimized by IPV, face when they encounter IPV and try to overcome the situation as single mothers by analyzing the qualitative data collected from service providers, with 7 different categories: (1)language barriers, (2) immigrant status, (3)difficulties of economic independence, (4)cultural differences, (5)lack of social support and networks, (6)gender norms and inequality, and (7)raising children. Through my analysis, I identified that the vulnerability of being an immigrant due to language barriers and residency status, intersected with patriarchal oppression, created a situation where immigrant women remained trapped in abusive relationships. I also identified several gaps existed among the current social support services when immigrant married Filipina mothers who were victimized by IPV try to access, such as a gap between the perspectives of public organizations and those of private organizations working in close proximity to immigrant women, a gap between the DV Prevention Law and immigration policy, a gap between the DV Prevention Law and the services that can currently be provided each local government, and a gap also existed between Japanese- and Filipino led organizations. Furthermore, I also identified several gaps existed among the current social support services when immigrant married Filipina mothers who have left their spouses try to overcome IPV experiences and to self-reliance without spouses in Japan, such as a gap between the perspectives of public organizations and those of private organizations working in close to immigrant women, a gap between the Child Welfare Law and the actual conditions for admission to a mother and child living support facility, and a gap between the resources that foreign single mothers need to make a living and the support that exists.
