| Summary: | The focus of the paper is on domestic violence against immigrant women during
the transit and stay in Serbia, on their way from MENA countries1 to the
European Union. The objective is to present and analyze the phenomenon. It
is contextualized within a theoretical framework of intersections between
domestic violence, migration and the crisis and consideration of migration
from MENA countries flowing through Serbia, as a part of the Western
Balkan’s Route, with an emphasis on immigrant women. This is followed by the
scrutinisation of domestic violence against immigrant women in Serbia - its
occurrence and reporting, along with the author’s reflections thereof. Main
conclusions point to the importance of preventive and empowering strategies
directed towards immigrant women. Challenges to that are numerous: some stem
from underperformance of services aimed at prevention and empowerment of
women who are victims of domestic violence in Serbia in general, and some
are related to the factors specific for the situation of immigrant women. |
