As COVID lockdown continued we maintained the support of women in NSW, Victoria and Queensland to find security and safety. COVID created a substantial increase in pain points and restrictions for clients, especially where forced isolation or financial control was in place. The majority of our clients were or are partnered, sponsored, students or bridging visas. Perpetrators and offenders can also be predators seeking out women who need immigration support to stay in Australia. Many are promised a future by their partner and then controlled financially, emotionally and physically through the process. Due to this, and the feelings of guilt and shame, many are reluctant to file Apprehended Violence Orders or even have a discussion with the police as they were told by their abusers that there would be ramifications if they went to the police. Through our support network, each of our clients were able to achieve reporting, safe accommodation, new jobs, custody (where children are involved), job placement, financial assistance, trust in others and trust in their own efforts. In addition, our organisation provides long term support so any of the women who have transitioned are aware that our long term support is available to them at any point of their journey.
