Immigrant and refugee women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/risk experience risk of gender-based violence (GBV), including interpersonal, community, and structural violence. The paucity of studies focusing on the experience of immigrant and refugee women living with human immunodeficiency virus (IRWLHIV)/risk impacted by GBV limits understanding the impact of systemic racism and sexism. Therefore, it is important to examine the implications of and for research, policy, and practice that can challenge structural violence, hegemonic masculinity, promote equity, social inclusion, and psychosocial wellbeing.
The objectives of this study were to explore:
• Immigrant and refugee women’s dual experiences of HIV/risk and GBV; and
• Policies, programs, or services that support and or create barriers for immigrants and refugee women living with HIV/risk and GBV.
