Outline of Final Research Achievements

Domestic violence is closely related to child abuse, and the number of victims is rapidly increasing among parents and children with diverse cultural backgrounds. Although the effectiveness of multicultural social work has been pointed out as a means of providing support for such cases, specific methods of support have yet to be established.
Therefore, this study was conducted with the following two objectives: First, to clarify the actual situation of victims of domestic violence among foreign women and their children and the problems of current support. Second, to establish a comprehensive support model that incorporates support at the clinical level utilizing multicultural social work, as well as support through regional networks.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

多文化ソーシャルワークを活用した、DV被害者に対するサポート体制は必ずしも十分に確立されておらず、その開発は急務の課題であると考える。そのような中、臨床レベルでの支援モデルに、地域ネットワークを統合することによって包括的なサポート・システムを開発した本研究は、多様な文化的背景をもつ人々への支援に応用できる重要なモデルである。そのため、直接的なDV被害者への支援に役立つことはもちろんであるが、多文化共生社会の実現に向けて必要な体制の構築へと展開が期待できる点でも社会的意義を有すると考える。
