Research on domestic violence documents the particular vulnerability of immigrant women due to reasons including social isolation, language barriers, lack of awareness about services, and racism on the part of services. Based on qualitative interviews with 30 South Asian women with insecure immigration status residing in Yorkshire and Northwest England, this article explores how inequalities created by culture, gender, class, and race intersect with state immigration and welfare policies in the United Kingdom, thereby exacerbating structures of patriarchy within minority communities. It is within these contexts that South Asian women with insecure immigration status experience intensified forms and specific patterns of abuse.
家庭暴力研究指出，移民妇女由于社会孤立、语言障碍、对服务缺乏了解以及服务中的种族主义等原因而特别脆弱。本文基于对居住在英格兰约克郡和西北地区的 30 名移民身份不稳定的南亚妇女的定性访谈，探讨了文化、性别、阶级和种族造成的不平等如何与英国的国家移民和福利政策交叉，从而加剧少数族裔社区内的父权制结构。正是在这些背景下，移民身份不稳定的南亚妇女经历了更严重的形式和特定的虐待模式。
