From the Paper:

"Canadian immigration and refugee policy has been praised for its special attention to female migrants. It is well known that women often face special dangers in countries they must leave as refugees and that these can be among the reasons they apply to come to Canada as immigrants. This short progress report refers to an eventual paper that will explore Canada's way of taking into account domestic violence among women who are in Canada, many of them depending on husbands or other male kin."
