Article: Resisting Deportation: Women Fighting Violence Against Women

By Farrah Miranda

"Violence against women is almost entirely carried out by men and supported by government policy. Be it through the Live-In Caregiver Program where women, mostly, are forced to live in the homes of employers with minimal protection or the recent proposed jailing of refugees under a so-called "human smuggling" bill which would have jailed families or the ongoing deportation of women to places of personal and systemic violence -- Canadian immigration policies are one of the greatest perpetrators of violence against women."
