Abstract

What is the prevalence of violence experienced by people with insecure immigration status? Violence causes injury and is related to mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress and depression. The World Health Organization's 2002 Report of Violence and Health states 'where violence persists, health is compromised.' Sub questions of the review ask: 1. What is the reported prevalence of different types of violence experienced by people with insecure migration statuses? 2. What types of violence do people in insecure immigration status report experiencing? 3. Do people in insecure migration status who experience violence perceive that to be a consequence of their migration status?
