This annotated bibliography was undertaken as part of developing a research agenda for the ongoing programme of action for the Taskforce for Action on Violence within Families. It provides a summary of research relating to family violence (including what some refer to as domestic violence) within refugee and migrant families and communities in New Zealand and overseas. This research provides useful information about the prevalence, dynamics, causes, risk and protective factors and impact of family violence in a number of different ethnic communities. It also discusses the barriers victims face in seeking help and the challenges service providers face in addressing the needs of victims. Executive Summary.
