Abstract

ABSTRACT Dowry-related abuse and intimate-partner violence among Indian immigrants in Australia have received considerable attention in the national media in recent years. Media reportage and commentary on these issues have highlighted the testimonies and experiences of migrants who have faced dowry-related abuse and intimate-partner violence, untangling the complex context-specific issues (around culture and matrimony, and migration pathways, among others) that such testimonies raise. Demands for state intervention in response to emerging concerns about dowry-related abuse among Indian migrants in Australia have dominated public discourse on the issue. This article comments on the emergence of discourses prioritizing state intervention in this domain, highlighting the views of community and government representatives, and discussing the authors’ perspectives on the implications of these emergent discussions for practitioners in health and human services.

关于在澳大利亚的印度移民中与嫁妆有关的虐待和亲密伴侣暴力的调解话语和国家干预的观点:对健康和人类服务的影响

近年来，澳大利亚印度移民中与嫁妆有关的虐待和亲密伴侣暴力受到了全国媒体的广泛关注。媒体对这些问题的报道和评论强调了面临与嫁妆有关的虐待和亲密伴侣暴力的移民的证词和经历，解开了这些证词引发的复杂的具体背景问题(围绕文化和婚姻，以及移民途径等)。对澳大利亚印度移民中与嫁妆有关的虐待行为的担忧日益加剧，要求政府干预的呼声已主导了公众对这一问题的讨论。本文评论了在这一领域优先考虑国家干预的话语的出现，突出了社区和政府代表的观点，并讨论了作者对这些新兴讨论对健康和人类服务从业者的影响的观点。
