To strengthen new
immigrants' understanding of domestic violence issues and to increase their
legal knowledge and personal safety awareness, the Miaobei District Family
Service Center for New Immigrants is holding a lecture entitled "Say No
without Tolerance! Protecting Every Family from Domestic Violence, Establishing
Boundaries in a Marriage, and Equality for All". This lecture mainly
focuses on the Domestic Violence Prevention Act to equip new immigrants with a
correct understanding of violent behavior while strengthening self-protection
and learning how to make good use of resources to seek help on their own or on
behalf of others.
The main theme of
the lecture is personal safety laws and regulations, which includes identifying
violent and harassing behavior, practical legal knowledge, instructions for
seeking help, and guidance on available social resources. The lecture covers a
lot of knowledge in an easy-to-understand way to help participants feel better
prepared to protect themselves and seek help if facing a violent situation to reduce
the risk of becoming a victim of domestic violence.
The lecture will
be held on Saturday, June 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Miaobei District
Family Service Center for New Immigrants has designed this course to make it
easy to understand and to provide a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, allowing
participants to obtain important information without language and
cultural barriers. The center hopes to help new immigrants to learn, seek help,
and respond appropriately when facing domestic violence issues to improve family
safety and social inclusion.
