In the context of domestic abuse, what does a ‘safety net’ mean? What role do language and culture play in support and how might we create culturally responsive services to meet the needs of migrant victims?
Using different art forms and co-produced with migrant women we will examine migrant women’s journeys to safety based on accounts from victims/survivors and professionals.
We have been working with practitioners and artists to develop unique pieces for the showcase which will feature on the evening.
Attendees will have time to view the showcase over a drinks reception at the University and speak to some of the artists and women who have contributed including local artist Lois Cordeila, contributions from women working with Phoebe in Ipswich, GYROS in Great Yarmouth, and Leeway in Norfolk and Suffolk. The showcase will also feature other local women and artists and bespoke art work, spoken word and music as well as other art creations.
The event will include a panel discussion to raise awareness of domestic abuse in migrant communities.
Speakers include representatives from: WomenforRefugee Women, StepUpMigrant Women Campaign, Leeway, People from Abroad Team (Norfolk County Council), GYROS, and Phoebe.
The emerging themes from an ongoing evaluation of Project Safety Net+ by the University of Suffolk will shape the key discussion points and inspire the showcase.
It promises to be an inspiring, creative unique evening of learning and sharing.
