    Shadows of Silence: Narratives of Indian Migrant Women Facing Domestic Violence in the UK

    Get PDF
    Migration and domestic abuse are deeply interwoven phenomena, with migration often exacerbating vulnerability to abuse through intersecting structural, systemic, and cultural factors (Anitha, S, 2011; Raj &amp; Silverman, 2002). This conceptual review critically examines existing literature on the experiences of migrant survivors of domestic abuse, integrating Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and Meaning-Making Theory, with intersectionality woven throughout. While prior research has established the prevalence of domestic abuse among migrant populations, much of it has overlooked the complex interplay between cultural norms, immigration status, and socio-economic dependencies that shape survivors’ experiences and hinder their access to support.The review highlights key themes such as the role of migration in creating both protective and risk factors, the impact of systemic barriers like immigration laws, and the influence of family and community dynamics on survivors’ help-seeking behaviours. It also identifies significant gaps in current literature, particularly the lack of intersectional and culturally sensitive approaches to interventions. In response, the review proposes the Integrated Ecological, Intersectional, and Trauma-Informed (IET) Framework, which integrates existing theories to offer a conceptual model for multi-level, survivor-centered interventions.Clinical implications of the review include recommendations for early intervention strategies, the integration of trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care, joint interventions, and community-based supports. Addressing systemic barriers and promoting resilience through empowerment are also crucial for supporting migrant survivors. This review contributes to the development of more effective, inclusive, and culturally attuned approaches to domestic abuse prevention and intervention, ensuring that the unique needs of migrant women are met within a broader socio-political context.<br/

    Speed vs Accuracy in Goal Recognition for Time-Sensitive Applications: a Game-Theoretic Approach

    This work addresses a specific case of Goal Recognition (GR), wherea malicious actor (the attacker) seeks to reach and damage one ofseveral sensitive targets, while the observer (the defender) mustidentify the attacker’s target and allocate limited resources to pro-tect it. Focusing on real-world physical and cyber security scenarios,the defender faces a trade-off between acting early, with limited in-formation, or waiting for more data but risking insufficient time todefend. Our contributions include introducing a game-theoretic for-mulation of this instance of GR, which captures the time-sensitivenature of these scenarios, and providing an efficient method tocompute Nash equilibria using the fictitious play learning scheme.Experimental results confirm that our method equips the defen
