I would add that women aren't informed when it comes to their rights. In fact, it might be advisable to use somewhat plainer language and simpler ways to educate immigrant women about legal aspects, because they are not able to access the information. For the most part, they are extremely isolated. One solution would be to provide mentoring or training to the associations doing the hands-on work so they can give these women guidance and assistance. That education can start at the beginning of the process, from when they file a complaint to what happens after. In my experience working with these women, they are scared. They don't know what will happen to them, and they fear losing their children. They are scared of a lot of things, and that significantly limits them.
I just wanted to make that clear. It was a finding in our last study. Women don't know their rights, but would like to assert them and have that information.
