摘要：

Purpose This article describes newcomer women's experiences navigating help-seeking and accessing formal services and supports after experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) in two cities in Saskatchewan, Canada. Method Fifteen newcomer women who migrated to Canada from twelve different countries participated in in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Results Findings relating to newcomer women's experiences of help-seeking after experiencing IPV include a lack of awareness of domestic violence services; shelter waitlists and length of stay; interactions with police; challenges with legal assistance; negotiating parenting time with abusive partners; navigating childcare; child protection services; poverty and social assistance; and language, interpretation, and challenges working with multiple service providers. Conclusions Implications for policy and practice to help service providers enhance support to newcomer women who have experienced IPV are discussed.
